Interior is starting to...fall apart? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I noticed this the other day and starting to wonder what I can do to fix it. I didn't notice the issues until after I got my tint job done the other day, however I don't know why they would have had to remove this to apply it since its not like I got the windshield done. There's a little plastic snap to put it back in place, but it pops back out after a few minutes.

Any idea how I could get this fixed? I've never bought a new car before so I was wondering-if I took this back to the dealer to have it looked at, would I be laughed off the lot?

There have been a few posts about this problem already. Take it back to your dealer, they will make it right.

Demand that the dealer fix it immediately. It shouldn't take too long to figure out where it needs to be better attached.

This was an issue long before production began in March. I am surprised it was not taken care of properly.

I was actually just going to post this. My car is a week and a half old and the exact same thing happened to mine except it was the left side A pillar. I guess I'll be headed back to the dealership too.

New clips now available -- old clips did not hold it on in all cases.

Excellent. Is there a recall or is it every owner having to have this happen down the road and taking it in themselves?

Do the dealerships know this?

please tell them!!

SSOOCH · 06-22-2009, 09:10 AM

no need to demand or get upset. Simple fix thats covered under warranty at your local Chevrolet dealer

Just a little Crazy Glue on the notch and it stays in place. That's what I did. I'll bet there are hundreds like this.

Post if this has happened to you!

I had a customer of mine I saw sitting in service with this issue, before the service writer got a chance to write him in, I pressed it back into place myself, just put a little umph behind it and felt it click into place.
