Default Re: Door Lock Cylinder

This is a known, huge flaw with the H2. Very easy to "pop" the lock with screw driver under drivers door crappy plastic handle bucket. My wife's 2005 H2 broken into this way. My 2007 H2 attempted.

Heck, I even rented an H2 from Hertz in Atlanta, and notice the same door handle damage before renting it!

There is an after market piece that can be installed to prevent opening of the door, however, you will still get the same damage when they try.

I have switched to the Chrome handle buckets to discourage anyone from trying. For some reason, the chrome looks like "unbreakable metal" to the crooks and they don't try.

GM knew the problem, and changed the handles on the Cadillac Escalade. I was very disappointed to see that they did not change the H2 starting with the 2008 models.

Good luck.
