Replying to: leaffan (Apr 08, 2008 9:23 am) I have a similar problem with my 2006 trailblazer with the rear door. Water/ice gets under the rear spoiler forcing it up and they won't cover it under warranty. GM wouldn't acknowledge directly that it's a design flaw (Me: "Its a design flaw and should be covered." GM:"No it's not a design flaw" Me:"So it's supposed to get water back there and separate from the vehicle." GM:"No it's not" Me:"Then it's a design flaw" and round and round we went.) So I am still fighting with them to cover it, as I am not paying to fix their screw ups. Needless to say I was doing research on this when I ran across your post and decided to let you know that you are not alone with this. I know I am never going to buy another GM vehicle.

Replying to: leaffan (Apr 08, 2008 9:23 am) I have the same problem on my 2006 HHR, the dealer did not have a solution. Inside the door jam there is a piece of felt looking material, I feel this material is the source of the build up. I have tried spraying WD40 in this area, but that did not help.
