Hood alignment off from factory?


Recommended Posts

Not normal and will probably get worse over time. If the rub goes too far that area will rust. Should be a quick trip to the body shop at your dealer for a hood adjustment along with a repaint.

No way that should've gotten out of the plant like that!

 

On my '11, the antenna bracket was wayy off (at the end of slot in cowl) from the factory. I didn't bother doing anything about it as I figured the remedy would be worse that the problem. (the bracket is spotwelded to the cab)

 

Take it back to the dealer.

for the most part ... the only person to REALLY look over a new vehicle for flaws is the buyer ... dealer prep is a joke

 

the assembly line installers get just a few seconds to attach whatever, and if there's an issue they let it go by (literally), only the dealer or buyer will find it - many trucks are delivered will low or no fluids, missing parts, and misaligned panels .... the assembly line workers should be obligated to tag something that is NOT right - obviously that does not happen ... no excuse by GM to runs things that way (quick & cheep will not build future buyers)

Update.

 

I brought it back to the dealer and their body shop is going to repaint/blend the hood. They will order new emblems and grill but not a new hood painted from factory. Grrr!

 

 

That's because GM sells sheet metal primed and un painted.
