PICTURES INCLUDED passanger inside windshield pillar cover keeps popping out
 

:readthethread:ive had my car 3 days now and the plastic cover that covers the windshield pillar keeps popping off any body else have this problem car was delivered with it popped off so where the hell is the qc for this shit . and alll i say to my self is that i bought american . say what you want but there is allways something . and yes foreign cars have problems to but something like this is not called for . so say what you all need to say . yes ive owned 11 new american cars so i can say this. gm this is the hottest car i have ever had . even better then my vet and 3 escalades just try to check these cars out a little better . maybe im the only one .but one to many .you guys kept alot of cars from these people who have been waiting a long time in qc so we really dont need to be back at the dealer a week later . i know im just going on but dont tell us this is your best quality when something this simple gets over looked thanks ..

My car was in quality control for that same part and get this they shipped it accidentily without it and they had to expedite the part to the dealership and finalize the quality control inspection at the dealership. I complained so much after 8 weeks sitting in quality control that someone shipped it accidentily. I haven'thad any problems in the 4 days I've had the car for now.

My dealer called me yesterday to check out their 1LT CGM, car had 7 miles on it and both plastic covers were popped off. I guess its normal.

Ugh. Just another issue to add to the list. :facepalm:

the new gm :mad0259:

..universal GOOP to the rescue.:facepalm:

Look to see if whatever it uses for retention is broken or damaged.

You probably need the dealer to order you a new set of them.

don't screw around with this guys
 

if you decide to 'fix' thus yourself you may be affecting the side curtin airbag, let the dealer do it.

Let's hope this isn't a trend..:facepalm:

I am expecting to take delivery of #8575 on Wednesday. I will keep a close eye on both inside windshield pillar covers.

My driver's side A-pillar cover pops loose occasionally. I just snap it back in. It has happened twice in a week. Next time I'll pull it off and see what isn't working.

So far no problem with mine. I've had mine since Wed. but have not driven it alot instead i've had to work.

This is not good news. Another issue to add to the list.

There is no air bag on the windshield pillars.

The A pillar thing sucks.
But it's realitively minor, I was intrested in buying a 2009 G37S ($42k) until I joined their forums and found the drivers side A pillar where it connects to the top of the windshield has a recurring problem, the welded joint cracks after being on the road for a short time. The fix is taking apart the interior of the car and re-welding. This fix seems to last longer for some than others, it produces a cracking / popping sound when the driver hits a bump or the body gets flexed. So I view this Camaro problem as very minor.

Relax!!!!
My 2SS came with the Driver's side a pillar cover popped loose.
The dealer ordered a replacement clip, which has been RE-DESIGNED, and replaced it.
It took only 2 days to get the part.
Unfortunately, the over reaction is typical for this site.

:word:

this should be over reacted.i paid 41000 dollars cash out of my pocket something this minor should not slip threw qc since they sat there so long in qc who inspected them governer patterson from newyork .thats my ****ing thaught

Are you guys accelerating too quickly that you are leaving the windshield pillars in place?

these new clips you are talking about clip into the pillar correct .because on the plastic cover they are little tabs on it . and hopefully nothing on the dash needs to be removed correct thanks .im only over reacting because that is 2 times that i have to bring it back to the dealer . and time is money .

Yes, but you're lucky enough that your car has already arrived at the dealership.
Little tiny "quick fixes" can take weeks if GM does the fix themselves in QC.

The same exact thing was said about the batter fix "its a quick fix." Then some guys waited 30+ days to get this "quick fix.".

So lets just see how this plays out. And as mentioned there's no reason to panic, but it is a concern if it causes cars to go into a QC holds until they can be fixed.

you are right .i do agree with that ..

just a small problem.....they'll fix it, so don't panic!

Picked my car up late last week, and I'm noticing the same problem. Plan to talk to the dealer this week about it. I do agree that after having spent so much money, I'd like to think things like this wouldn't happen. But, if its just little stuff like this that I have to deal with on a first year car, I'll be extremely happy.

Hum sunroof or without?

If headroom changes for sunroof do the piller cover sizes have to change? And if so did normal roof in some cases get fitted with shorter sunroof piller covers?

it seems the covers are the correct size but the stud that fits in the hole is to small .need a bigger stud or a smaller hole .to me .or some chewing gum . or a book of matches to wedge in between windshield and cover .

post pics if possible... looks like this is happening to alot of people.

Maybe some double sided tape like what that dude used for his front plate the other day.

I have the same problem with my car. It pops out on the passenger side when the door is closed or hitting a pothole. Is there any fix for this? I would take it to my dealer but they're 400 miles away.

they said they made new clips i just hope they can pull this piece up from the dash with out taking the dash off .i need to see a picture of this new clip. other wise i would think they will use 3m tape .these guys at dealers will do anything so you dont come back .to break balls . and trust me i am one of those guys . and yes ive seen dealers use it first hand

I have the same problem. Just randomly pops off. Just got the car up to 142MPH and it stayed intact. Later going 35 mph and it popped off.

Go figure!

:needpics:

Maybe some Velcro is needed?

Yes, please! I have no idea what these clips are that you're describing and would like to know what to look for. Since I have the mis-aligned dash/door panel issue, it would not surprise me if there are others I've missed.

My passenger side popped loose and I just popped it back into place. It only happened the one time so far.

Little things like this make me glad mine's not built yet.

:word:

As we were leaving the dealer after my son took delivery last Friday afternoon and I was riding shotgun, I noticed the a-pillar trim was not seated. So I tried several times over the couse of the next two days w/o joy.

Yesterday my son noticed it had popped free again and gave it a pretty good WHACK. So far it has held but I doubt it's FIXED and eventually it'll pop free again.

This is my son's first new car and has saved for years to buy something like this (to include all of his combat pay from his tours in Iraq and Afgahistan).

I hope this is the last of the teething pains he's had to endure with his SS.

Can you guys take some measurements. The ones popping out are they sunroof or normal?

Not a huge issue, just frustrating. Dealer should handle under warranty repair.
