B Pillar Stickers - SRi

[Groover]

I had only owned my SRi for about 3 weeks when I noticed the edge of one the "Carbon fibre" look-alike stickers on the B pillar starting to lift. I have since had to trim and "Bodge" up the edges on both sides of the car with black paint. Not only does this really P#ss me off but to simply get it fixed under warranty is a nightmare.

After all the crap work I have experienced when getting anything done by a Holden dealer, I am not likely to want them to strip and re-fit new stickers (like the crap factory ones) and in the process stuff up the window seals and door trim. This has been the only thing (so far) which has spoilt the enjoyment of owning and driving an otherwise fantastic little car.

I am new to these forums and I did search for this topic before posting this message. However I could not find anything on this issue and wondered if any other SRi owners have experienced this problem and more importantly what they have done about it.

Right now I am thinking that I will wait until I can't stand it any longer and then just take the stupid things off or maybe paint the B piller black.

Ive had the same problem with the carbon fibre sticker, just took it to holden and they replaced it under warranty

[Groover]

Are you happy with the job they did?

How long since they replaced them?

Does it look like the same problem will reoccur?

take it back it takes 10 mins to fit a new set very easy to sort out

They replaced the drivers side and it took two weeks for them to get the part in. Also the passengers side is doing it now so i will take the car back there again.

Yep I had both mine done less than two months after first purchase(they came from the factory all scratched up). Holden don't do it themselves on site, mine was taken to HSV auth repairer in Brisbane (which happens to be my smash repair/paint anything guy) and it was done then, now almost 12 months on, no problems.....

So it is just the ones that come from factory that crease?

Once they are replaced they're good as gold yeah?

[Mr T]

yeah, I had the same problem. I was worried about taking it back too, but I think I will now.

Thanks fellas... your comments have been very helpful. I'm glad I am not the only one having this problem.

They are a nightmare to fit.
Very hard to tuck it under the window seal.
