my driver side rocker panel in the rear does not sit flush anybody know how to fit it the right way .or anybody else have this problem .

I've seen it before, and I've seen it a lot worse than that. I don't know if GM has an official fix for this yet, but your dealer may take care of you.

It looks like a defect. You can see something in the middle there like maybe a panel tab that slides into a notch?? (guessing) Looks like it was forced on.

ZOMGWTFBBQ!? The Rockers don't line up! NUKE OSHAWA!!..

So they drilled the holes slightly off target with the robot...

Take it to the dealer. I wouldn't fiddle with it.

JewelZ · 06-08-2009, 04:37 PM

MORE ISSUES!?!?! I hope GM is looking at this site enough to catch these threads

Andro · 06-08-2009, 04:39 PM

Oh no

BryGo · 06-08-2009, 04:39 PM

I had this exact same problem with my new 09 CTS. Take it in to the dealer. It is a small tab issue. They can fix that relatively quickly.

KK2010SS · 06-08-2009, 04:39 PM

I have the same issue, but mine is MUCH less noticeable.

SSOOCH · 06-08-2009, 04:47 PM

Gorilla glue?

Indpowr · 06-08-2009, 04:52 PM

Your car has appears to be a stunning color...ABM

Take it in, I have seen it before.

Number 3 · 06-08-2009, 05:20 PM

Don't screw with it. Just return it to the dealer for repair.

Or did you perhaps do this yourself to convince yourself to go for the body kit? No? JK

Looks like an easy fix.

Oh and many from GM read this site including me.
