Got cladding replaced today!

Post by Geo »

With the help of the TSB put out by GM I got my rocker and rear wheel well moldings replaced! Everything was done perfectly, and best part of the entire deal was that the job was finished within 6 hours of taking it in for service. If anyone in the Madison areas ever needs any body work done, I highly recommend the guys over at Stark Pontiac in Sun Prarie, they do top notch and fast work Pics of my new cladding to be up soon, as well as winter-mode pics for the first Winter storm to approach southern Wisconsin!

Lucky GEO you are!Here in Quebec, some of us been told that TSB was cancelled!!! and no cladding will be replaced, even if some others from Quebec got theirs replaced (after long discussion with different GM services)Hope now that GM CANADA will read this and ensure that Canadians customers will be finally satisfied in this matter. After all they always said that they have best services and products

I got mine done today! Martin Pontiac did the switch in an hour and 20 minutes. I really like how it looks now with the car lowered and the 18"s. It sucks though that I have to put on stock wheels cause it's going to snow tonight. I only got to drive around for half an hour so far. I post pics later.

Does this mean that I can actually call my dealer and he will have to replace my cladding or does there have to be something wrong with it? What's the TSB #?

My new cladding is on order; thanks to all who posted the TSB. The manager said that he ordered all the parts mentioned in the TSB. I also got the dealer to order up a new window gasket and a new cup holder assembly for the rear seating area. Now if they would only do something about my 2 million paint chips!!

Awesome!Furry, search for the cladding information. If you are experiencing "discoloration" due to road debris on the left and right rear wheel panels, and rocker moldings, then you should be able to get them replaced.
