the weatherstrips on the doors of the 2006-2007 impalas are scratching the paint off the body where the door closes on to it. due to the texture of the weatherstrips on all four doors. please contact gm customer assistance to complain about this issue so they will get a fix for this big problem. i am a dealer employee and they said they need more complaints to consider this a real problem. CALL 1-800-222-1020 TO COMPLAIN OF THIS SOON OR YOUR CAR WILL BEGIN TO RUST AROUND THE DOORS

I have complained about this to the dealer, GM district manager and the GM 800 customer service line. I'm told it is normal and that all cars do this, but I continue to get more red paint on the weather stripping. AND, the weather stripping is so rigid, it is cracking. I started noticing it within 2-3 months of owning the car. I'm at a year now and after numerous complaints, they will do nothing.
#16 of 17 Rattling Sunroof Shade, '06 Impala SS

Is anyone else out there having an issue with the sliding shade of their sunroof rattling? Mine has started this problem within the last couple of months. It's not a terribly loud noise but it is constant (as long as the car is moving) and definitely annoying. As it began, I could stop it by just sliding the shade open and closed. However, now it rattles no matter what I do...other than leaving it open.
Any thoughts?

Ron, I chuckled as I read your comment. I then read it to my wife, and she chuckled also. You have perfectly described the situation she has with her 2007 Grand Prix. We, too, have not been able to find a cure. I haven't taken it to the dealer--yet. If the annoyance continues into warm spring and summer weather, then I will have to consider it. It's interesting that what appears to be an identical problem would occur in both the Impala and the Grand Prix. Clark
