The original equipment body side molding with a bright metallic insert could curl due to uneven expansion rate of the two materials. This would cause them to loosen and/or fall off.

To correct this condition it will be necessary to replace the moldings with an improved type. However, the new moldings are solid black and will require replacement of all body side moldings as a kit.

These kits are currently available through GMSPO as follows:
