Taillight Brush Guard Fiasco

[Hart1]

Greetings All:


I was in a dusty area yesterday, and I noticed that my Black Taillight Brush guard's two contacts on the outside of the vehicle popped off the body. A closer inspection showed the outside contact points on the brush guard is held down by two sided tape! However, holes are present to screw the guard onto the body.

I called my dealer and Steve stated that this is how they are installed. I pointed out that there are holes on the contact points, and I can't believe a brush guard would be installed using two sided tape on the outside...a branch could pop the guard right off....The Dealer stated that is the way it is...

Called Hummer and they stated that it is an "after market" item, it is the dealer's decision, the warranty may or may not apply....I stated that the Hummer Web site shows this brush guard as a GM sanctioned assessory, and I can't believe GM would not back this up.

I asked Hummer if the instructions that come with the brush guard recommended two sided tape, or that the contact points be attached with screws, no one knows!

Am I being too picky? I feel that if GM recommends it, and the Dealer installs it, it should be done correctly and warranted.....

Two sided tape holding together a brush guard? Give me a break...
