I just got back from the store with my superglue and read your post. I was going to try the same thing (and repair my broken plastic bracket).
 
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.

Now that I'm home and can see the truck and the color keyed flapper.........
 
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.

Pretty simple...higher grades of gas actually have less energy in them, and when put in a vehicle MADE to run on 87 only, it has to burn more to make the same power level.
 
If you're driving a Lexus, etc., where Premium is recommended or required, use it. If you're driving an un-modded Tahoe, you're a complete idiot to use anything BUT 87

Did your dealer mention anything about availability of nav/radios, rear cameras, and 20" wheels? Mine doesn't have any info when any of these will be available.

He did state that there was a problem with availability of the NAV radio; however he stated that it was a very short term issue. He did not mention 20 in wheels or rear camera.

Thanks, I agree with your BLUNTNESS, however that was not my question. I asked if anyone had any real world MPG data and what octane THEY were using.

I have 2007 Tahoe LT2 4X4, City 15, Mixed 17 and 19 Highway. I run on 87 octane, no idle or pinging problems. I have 3,300 miles, so far. I just had a problem with an EBCM module which shorted out causing my stabilitrack to be disabled automatically. I have had 4 fit and finish and a radio problem on a non-nav radio. All items have been repaired/replaced by dealer except the radio problem which is waiting on a fix from GM. Since I purchased my Tahoe on 1-25-06, it has been in the shop a total of 6 days. Three of those days were idle days waiting for a EBCM to come from the factory because there are no parts in the system. I still love my Tahoe, it is a top notch vehicle and I attribute most of my problems to being the first year/first run. Would I buy the same suv knowing what I know now? OH YEAH! Hope that helps you.

Go back to Post #657 & 658 .. that might help everyone to install their Fascia cover. .. I had no troble installing it when I taped the bracket to the bumper instead of using the template .. Note: that cutout on the bracket also lines up with cutout on the plastic bumper.
...
My cover has been on the Tahoe for about two months .. and I have had no trouble with it and the fit to the bumper is snug & tight!

OK, thanks for the reply. Thing is, I didnt install mine, the dealer did. Seems odd that several others have the same issues. I'm not sure how I would fix it and I'm not sure the dealer is qualified to fix it since they couldn't install it correctly and said it was.
 
The logical solution is to move the bracket closer to the bumper edge so the top tabs can engage the rear key slots. Means more holes
