I was hoping this wasn't nearly as involved as that post is hinting at - I was trying to avoid ever having to bring this vehicle back to the dealer let alone have them take the face apart.

Bring it back to the dealer bro. Sounds like a bad install job!

Mine wasn't fitted as tight as I wanted with all the stock pieces....the body shop that installed mine put a bracket on each side to hold it in place. Worked like a charm every since, 1 1/2 years ago!

Brought her in - had them take it off completely to see what it was up there with. Just the bracket on the front chin and the horizontal on the wheel wells - everything else was double sided tape.

I actually saw a floor model they had doing the same exact thing - I pointed that out after mine was done. I had them take it off as the only solution they were willing to do - next to cementing it on with some kind of liquid adhesive - was re-tape it.

So for now it's in my garage and if I don't feel like the skirts without the front looks okay I'll have someone install it using another method.

But as one of you said - "Welcome to GM GFK"
