Exclamation Check your weather stripping!!!

Just got done raining from last night and I have water coming in from the back windsheild due to it not being installed right. I have a gap where the strippig is suppose to be covered. Also I said in a post that my back inside pannel is offset and sticking out well that and the weather stripping on the outside is slightly offset. Took it up to the dealer and one guy said it could of been damage during shipping and the shipping people fixed it. So my dealership is the middle man and they will have to look to see if it accord during transportation.

You need better pictures!

Blaming it on the shipping company is the dumbest place to lay blame. Your stealership is full of idiots...

Mine was like that, they re-did it for free.
well wait...I had weather stripping all around, but a large piece on the passenger side lil window wasn't sealed right and i could hear wind when I drove and I got water in it when I washed but, but anyways yeah they should fix it for free.

For 3 days I felt like I was getting the run around. I contact them they never contact me. I don't want this Cobalt now I want a different one. Nothing to do with the tranny more about custmer service and the feeling that since I bought the car already I am not as important than a buying custmer. Also it makes me feel that I shouldn't of bought the car, like I got ripped off on something that should of been checked. On top of that I had other problems.

I remembered to check mine and my weather stripping looks exactly like yours does in the 1st picture all around. It rained last night so I check for any water and didn't find anything. To me it doesn't really look like the seal is incorrectly positioned.

Went up there in my uniformed and in front of customers with the distraict Manager on my cell phone and handed them the phone and the Head guy told them to "get it done NOW"...All I heard was a yes sir and I will call you to tell you when it is done. i am giving them a week because I will be gone to Cali. The only ******** where the Sales department. But I got my point across that they shouldn't **** with me, that and I had a friend that is really good friends with the owner of all the dealerships.

I found the water more in the corners of the carpeted trunk lid from the inside. It was really damped. Had to touch it to really tell that water came in. I was told that the storm that went through Kansas City might of broken my windsheild and that they put it on incorrectly, also that company didn't put the paper work in the car when they got it. Its the law to disclose damages that was over $300 in the state of IA. Well the Stealership didn't know and of course I didn't eithier.

No problem I leave 2 weeks on my deployment so it has pleanty time to sit. It might sound little but I would of have waited till I had "APPROVAL" to fix my rear windsheild before they would of touched it. What type of **** would that been after just buying it a week ago?? So thats why I raised a big deal about it.
