Would this be covered under your warranty?

Mine broke in my 07 but it was covered in my 36k/3yr. It took them half a day to fix it. Don't know if the tech was just strickly working on mine or jumping between vehicles , i didn't ask but he did say that it was a pain.

Ha, i knew someone would ask that. Not hard at all, i was just applying it after parking like i always do. Im gonna have to open it up and take a look, if its just a tab like the link that was posted and I can rig it, ill be happy.

its the plastic piece that goes around the cable and the metal arm at the end that broke. Man, the stuff is flimsy, i can see why it broke. Im not an overly large dude either, im only about 6'4 - 225. I pulled a sticker off of it with what i thought were part numbers, but neither show up in the search at gmpartsdirect.

i emailed for a part number, lets see how that works out.

WOW. Im gonna check the junkyards on this one. they want 90 bucks for that stupid sheet of plastic thats probably gonna break on my again. Rediculous!

I shouldn't have posted anything in this post regarding this issue. Now mine broke today FML!

How did you get that thing out? I would like to take a look and see what happened?

I just pushed down the plastic panel and then pulled out. its pretty easy to get out. Its not easy to find one in a junkyard however. and for 90 bucks im gonna rig it instead.

Yea I got a piece of 1/8" 6010 welding wire that I am going to try to bend into some shape close to what came out. It is a pretty simple design, i don't know why it has all of those loopdy loes in it....
