passanger inside windshield pillar cover keeps popping out - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

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!

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.

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.
