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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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??

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.

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).

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.

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.
