Replying to: uplanderblues (Jul 15, 2008 8:32 am) Just this morning I looked at our local Chevy dealer's last brand-new Uplander, a gray 2008 LT with the chrome wheels. It looked nice (I always thought they were better-looking than other vans). To my astonishment, the gold grille bowtie has already delaminated from the inside. If I were the sales manager, I'd get that replaced right away. I'm sure they won't do a thing about it until the first customer complains, though (sigh).   That's one of those first-impression things that can (and should) be promptly taken care of..at the dealership level, and also at the manufacturing level.   Bill

I bought my 2008 Uplander in November of last year. I noticed the front emblem looking real bad after just one week. They replaced it and said they are getting lots of them on all models. I am just going to keep getting bad ones replaced under my three year bumper to bumper warranty and if they have not corrected the problem by then I will just leave defective ones on and it will be a reflection of GM's quality after that and I will tell them so unless of course they want to keep installing free ones after my three year warranty has expired. . No Way I would pay $38.00 US for a defective part which would be about $47.50 in Canada with the exchange rate at what it is now. Replies to this message: fscoles (May 09, 2009 12:31 am)

Replying to: williamyoung (May 04, 2009 2:47 pm) I'm running a test with both Bowties on our 08 Uplander. In late Oct 08 both of them were replaced under warranty, but by Feb 09 the front one had delaminated, so the local dealer just handed the new one to me so I could first apply a thin bead of clear RTV silicone caulk using a hypo 18ga needle (it's difficult to get the sealant thru the smaller ga needles) around the open seam where weather and crap can get inside the emblem and cause the delamination. So far they're doing fine. I did it to the front one before installation so I wouldn't have to contortion upside down......what can we really expect....my new bowtie had a China sticker on it....and U.S. & Canadian taxpayers are supposed to bail GM out?....something's wrong with that picture. It's easy to get around the perimeter of the rear bowtie by opening the door.
