I doubt they would be that negligent -- it could expose them to lawsuits when the weights fly off and hurt or damage someone or something. Even if not, there's no reason to think they are stuck on with foam poster mounting tape. That would be visible in the photos.

Why would you think GM is so incompetent that they would not use high-temperature adhesive to mount them?
