problem #1

Aug 252010

G6 GT 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,000 miles

The plastic piece in the trunk that holds the cargo net in place (called the cargo net retainer) kept falling off of the post. The dealer replaced the thing THREE separate times, told me it was fixed, and sent me on my way. Each time I would get home or to the grocery store, try to put something in the cargo net, and it would fall off again. It was the same retainer each time. I finally figured out that it was the post and not the retainer which was at fault, as other retainers would not work on it either although they worked fine on other posts.

I used Gorilla glue to glue the retainer onto the post and now it is solid as a rock. You would think that the dealer would have at least jiggled the darn thing to be sure it was securely attached before telling me it was fixed. Just looking at it I could tell that it was not on correctly and simply wiggling it a bit would make it fall off again. Unfortunately, if I ever need to take the trunk bed liner out it will be a pain because that retainer is glued on.
