GM doesn't need me to say it, but IMHO the '07 Tahoe is a homerun. Looks, handling, mileage, etc. etc. For what people buy them for and do with them, they can't be beat. I say this as a Porsche Cayenne owner who while I love the Porsche wished he could also have a good '0l American SUV that you could throw sacks of lime into at Home Depot, drive on absolutely rotten days and not worry about some clown hitting you, and if you used Mobil1 with regular oil changes run it out to 150K before you dumped it. Resale? Who cares, you are going to USE it up. It does seem to me though that the average price paid for a loaded Tahoe just went up from maybe 31K to 41K after all the pushing and shoving is over with. |

Replying to: rat55chevy (Apr 19, 2006 5:52 pm) I took the truck back this morning to show it to my service tech and he said that that's the way it's supposed to be. I'm kind of getting tired of their "excuses" so maybe when I get their Customer Service Survey I'll really let them have it this time. Think I'll print out the comments here on the forum about the pattern being off slightly and take it down to them...They better fix it and fix it right or they may be starting to deal with an "unhappy" customer.

Replying to: shawnhackett (Apr 19, 2006 11:57 am) ps. my wife's 04 Lexus RX330 that weighs 10%+ less gets almost 20% better milage but with premium fuel. If you do the math the costs difference is tiny. Pound for pound the Tahoe is more efficient (driven conservatively as I do).

Replying to: rat55chevy (Apr 20, 2006 7:47 am) I'd planned on superglueing another small piece of plastic about a half-inch thick to the top bracket to pull it tighter to the bumper. So this may work after all.

Replying to: shawnhackett (Apr 20, 2006 8:42 am) I see the problem and why the top isn't engaging properly. The bottom holes are definitely not the problem. Only one place they can go with the cover aligning with the bumper edge. The top tabs engage into the square key slot brackets that are push-clipped to the bumper top. This may be the locations that are drilled and located improperly on the template. The bracket has an identical square key slot 7/8" behind the one you can see. So there are two locations where the tab holder could engage the bracket. Explains why the first slot leaves the cover approx 1" from the bumper. Problem is... my cover will not push in far enough to engage the second (rear) key slot. It cant be off by much, I think less than 1/8". Not sure what the solution is, YET. Not a good design, there is no adjustability anywhere to allow for plastic tolerances. |
