Re: Engine Bay Body Rips
Time for me to join the club!!! I have a slight bulge on the passenger side, and get this, the drivers side is starting to crack with no noticeable bulge.
Time to show the dealer and get it on record.

Ron,
Would you be able to let us know what the correct TSB # is for the discussed issue? It seams apparent that you have access to the database.

Re: Engine Bay Body Rips
Well it seems I'll be rolling in a 08 Impala for a few weeks. Beats bumming a ride from my wife. I am the laughing stock at work. Am being verbally abused as well. FJ=F cking Junk written at the bathroom, Foreign junk written on my hard hat. I need to get it back and winch their cars out of the parking lot!
