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. |

Just ordered a new 2007 LTZ (loaded) to replace my 2004 LT, it is 4-6 weeks out, does any one have any real world mileage experience yet? How close is the window sticker 15 – 21 MPG. Are you running 87 – 89 – 93 octane ? Any electrical problems? Chevy had to buy my 2003 Tahoe back as they could not fix a no start problem in the computer.
