SUTers FYI

[VTSTOMPER]

So I was making my way to a birthday party and moving down the highway pretty good when I see in my passenger mirror a small black thing whipping around in the wind. I stop at the next exit to find that the rubber "seal" (if you can call it one, it is more of a spacer or anti rubbing device.) was peeling off the rear of the truck. The rubber piece is attached below the plastic that the rear running lamp is bolted to. I tossed some rubber safe adhesive on it, and I am good to go, but I almost lost it on the road.
I just wanted to send out something about it so you might want to check yours.

Thanks. The PS is gone and the DS is hanging.

[VTSTOMPER]

That is ghey Pete. What are you going to do with the spare part? It sounds like you are going to have that whole plastic cap kicking around...maybe you have to give it back to GM...not sure. all and all that whole thing is lame.

[rodster]

Good heads-up, VT. Had the same thing happen on mine. Black silicone adhesive fixed it right up.

[VTSTOMPER]

Holy crap Pete! What a scam! Probably Hummer is not putting them on SUT's anymore!

So what are THEY going to do for YOU??

[VTSTOMPER]

too bad something like this would not work:

door strip

[VTSTOMPER]

yea, I was being a smartyassy. Maybe they blow off on the train/truck! People would not just take them, you know? I mean this is a perfect world we live in!!

If it takes more than a couple of days to get here, the service manager is going to do just that.

I thought about doing it myself when I was there this morning, but I didn't want to screw someone else (in case they sold it without noticing).

I had the same problem but on my driver's side. Just had shop replace it. Out of curiosity I went and looked at SUT on showroom florr, and it too is coming off....good ol' GM

LMAO!

What's funny is I just noticed that in the pic of my truck that I posted here http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/t...1/m/2191098821 You can see the fooking strip hanging off. LOL! I hadn't noticed it when I was taking the pic.

My serveice guy just called and said the top rail (with strip) had arrived, so I'll see if they don't list a separate part no. for it.

Surely after paying for the full rail several times, GM will wisen up and offer just the strip.

You doofus! LOL!

Okay, so the dealer calls me and says my part is in. The "part" is supposed to be the whole right side top rail and the marker light cap (whic the strip is glued to. Well, they had gotten this package from another dealership, and I'll be damned if that delaership hadn't opened the box and robbed the light cap out of it, leaving just the rail.

So, the tech and I get in my truck and run over to the lot to see if there's an SUT we can steal one off of. The only SUT left is sold and waiting for its owner to pick it up, and son-of-a-bitch, both right and left side strips are missing from it!!!

ARGH!!!!

I think that someone just stole both strips off that one SUT.

They have placed another order for the whole top rail/marker light cap, straight from Hummer, to ensure that I get an unmolested package.

[TXSUT]

Ken, it is the DS. PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail.

Correcting myself here...it's the entire rail AND the cap!

[TXSUT]

Passenger side here.

[VTSTOMPER]

I agree.

I have seen dealers do that before as well on other things. Probably if you took both sides no one would notice! I wonder if there will be a tech bulletin on it soon.

I only had the problem on the passenger side, too.
