Paint peeling around headlight
- Thread starter Fritzn' Around
- Start date
I believe this is happened to other people, how long does the repair take?
The car has PPF on everything from the windshield forward. I believe this front bumper PPF will have to be removed for any work to be done.
I’m not sure who pays for this to be replaced, I didn’t have it installed at the dealership, so I’m guessing I will have to pay for this to be replaced.

GM will pay for a repaint. I had the same issue with my Grand Sport. They even let me pick my own body shop.

Thanks sooo much for helping me with this, at first the dealership said I hit something, after I showed them pictures of other cars and agreed to do the repair under warranty.
I was told its my responsibility to remove & replacement of the ppf @ $1300 to me

I would make them pay , to replace PPF or at least make them re-install it. Small claims court threat works pretty well, usually.

I’m a retired GM mechanic and should’ve known better and check the clearance around the headlight to the body panels. I don’t know there was a product service bulletin, if I did it would’ve been the first thing I did when I brought the car home in November.

I have taken GM, more than once, to S.C.C. and they settled out of court. Reputation is important to them. Hopefully this vehicle will be a problem. I know, no drag radials.The LAST time you will save 800$.

You must not value your quality of life and your time if you are proud of going to court multiple times regardless of outcome.I have taken GM, more than once, to S.C.C. and they settled out of court. Reputation is important to them. Hopefully this vehicle will be a problem. I know, no drag radials.

I was just joking, but I'll say this. My time is far more valuable than anything I could take to SCC.I have taken GM, more than once, to S.C.C. and they settled out of court. Reputation is important to them. Hopefully this vehicle will be a problem. I know, no drag radials.

I got that. I do not spend my days on end, going to SCC. In 65 years I had to do it 5 maybe 6 times. I bought a Gran Prix from GM and the guy said brake pads are not worn more than 40 %. One month later the pads on one wheel fell off.!!! So he said, not my problem. Applied SCC and when the papers came in for the court date , we settle out of court for the full amount , that it had cost me. The garage that did the work , had boosted the price on my receipt.
