Marker Lite fix ?

[HOKIE W/HUMMER]

Looks like its true. I called my dealership today and got my name placed on list at #7. Service manager expected that I should be able to get my H3 marker lights installed with the new repair kit in 2-weeks.

A little disappointed that I had to call and place my name on a list. Guess they weren't being truthful each time I called during the last 6 months and they said a priority list was already in place for their customers.

If It means anything... the New marker lamps per GM Marketing guy on the phone are susposed to become available 1/08/07.

This item screwed me on an H3 order that was placed in Aug 1st 06. I waited 15 weeks and no H3 due to Marker Lamps. I will reorder my rig in January 07.

According to the guy from GM Marketing there waiting for final ENGINEERING APPROVAL....Before release. Now..This I was told was for the new re-designed Marker Lamps. Don't know anythig about a Retro kit.

I got my "new" marker lights installed yesterday at Hummer Cincinnati. I don't know where that 1/8/07 date came from.

They had two new kits and 18 repair kits to fix the defective ones in inventory. Appears that the GM fix was actually an additional skeleton of plastic underneath the plastic cover to stiffen the structure. The new kits had the stiffer skeleton moulding into the one piece cover and the repair kits had an additional skelton piece that had to be installed with the older parts. I think this was a bit different solution than what everyone expected. Everyone (including the dealers) was expecting an additional gasket or seal to prevent wind from getting under the plastic cover.

I drove my H3 home on I-75 for about 2 hours at 75-80 mph. No wind noise that I can tell.
