SUTers FYI

[TXSUT]

I went to the dealership and get this...they are having to order the WHOLE top right rail just to get that one little rubber strip!!! At first, they thought it came with the light cap, which they had in stock, but uh-uh. I don't know if they are right or wrong, but that's what they told me.

Covered under warranty, but that is pretty screwed up...LOL.

[VTSTOMPER]

That is retarded. Should have just gone out on the lot!

[partsguy]

Whoever saw the dealer and ahd them replace
them,What did they replace?I'm told it is serviced by the rail PN#15145595 and 96.
There is no listing for just the seal.
So pull out your warrenty paper work and see
what number they charged out on the bill.
I f%^$ing stumped.
(bill the cat syndrome)

[TXSUT]

Will do.

Yeah, easy fix if you don't lose the damn thing like I did.

[TXSUT]

Make me #3...same issue here.

[captainmike]

I lost one already and had the dealer replace it. Is it only the passenger side that seems to have this issue?

Thanks. The PS is gone and the DS is hanging. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ken, if the spare strip I have at home is the DS, I'll be glad to ship it to you for nothing. Now that I have mine siliconed on, I don't need no stteking spare.

I'll check this evening (I'm in my office today) and get back to you.

Well, smear my ass with peanut butter and turn the squirrels loose. I finally get off my ass to go get some RVT sealant today to fix this issue, and as soon as I get out of the truck at home, I notice my passenger side strip is missing. Damn thing was on there before I left for the auto parts store. With rain on its way, the only option I had was electrical tape for a temporary seal.

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. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Just for clarification, it is not the cap, it's the roof rail that runs from front to rear. And I don't plan on taking it home with me...just the gasket I'm missing.

Nope, not the only one. My driver's side just started doing this last week. For now, I just keep pressing it back together as I will be visiting the dealer soon.

Yep, that clears it up. Just checked them and they are both loose. Will fix later today.

Thanks for clearing that up! And good catch!

BTW- who's plane ass looking SUT is that?

[2-H2's]

FYI, for future references...the part #'s are;

Right = 4+04cvz
Left = 5+04cvz23

At least that is what is written up on my warranty ticket. I'd assume that these are for the entire corner cap. I purchased the '05 SUT in December & both were missing from the truck. The other trucks I was looking at had them on?

The service write up was to replace the roof rack guide seal.

I put some Black RTV on both of them. Just to cover my bases. Mine was the passenger side as you read form the first post...but I have had to learn many times before I started the "both side" way of thought.

[VTSTOMPER]

Oh man! That is a hard blow Pete! I was waching eBay for some chrome ones...they would probably stick better. (j/k)

[TXSUT]

Well, it took over a month, but the dealership finally got an unmolested rail kit in. The service tech took the marker light cap out of the box, and replaced mine with it. I told him just to give me the rubber strip, that I was going to rip it off and silicone it as soon as I got home anyway, but he had his orders.

So back to Hummer goes a whole brand new rail and my cap with no rubber strip. What a ridiculous waste of time and money (mine, the dealerhsip's, AND Hummer's).

[KenP]

Thanks Pete. Let me know.
