SS logo over glovebox?

Why didn't my ss/tc come with the SS logo over the glovebox? My ss/sc had it, and I see it in pictures of ss/tc's... Did some of you not get one?

I noticed it when I bought it but didn't think anything of it, figured they quit doing it. I kinda liked it but can't find it anywhere, just the big one from ced. I shoulda yanked it off my sc.

I dont have it either, I dont think any sedan came with one. You have a coupe, I think coupes came with it. But to be honest, it looks less tacky without one.

GM would rather charge you the same amount for the car and pocket the $3 they saved by not giving you a badge.

Ok yeah, that is what I figured.. I just wanted to make sure the dealer or some customer didn't decide to pocket it.

You can buy the entire trim piece for $35 or somethin or try for warranty but I'm not convinced it wasn't supposed to be there. Some of my friends with 09s have it, some don't.

Early 09' cars were being built as early as September. I took delivery of my 2009 in October 2008. Mine has the badge.

My car was built in april of 09 and didnt have it. There was a break off of middle febuary where the SS/TC had some revisions at the factory .... the fuel pump sound deadening ..... the oil leak fix ..... and standard USB radio . It seems at that point they stopped with the SS emblem on the dash.

Something was revised in feb.09 that changed the way GM looks at the tranny case issue too.... cars after that date don't have the same issue in GM's thinking. I wish i knew all the changes but they were never listed anywhere.


#09-07-29-003: Transmission Fluid Leak, Slipping Clutch or Broken Axle Shaft (Replace Trans Assembly/Front/Rear Mounts and Both Axle Shafts-Contact District Svc Mgr (Warranty Mgr in Canada) for Repair Approval) - (Jun 12, 2009)

Subject: Transmission Fluid Leak Due to Clutch Housing Fatigue, Slipping Clutch or Broken Axle Shaft (Contact District Service Manager/Warranty Manager (in Canada) for Repair Approval)

Models: 2005-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS
2008-2009 Chevrolet HHR SS
2004-2007 Saturn ION Redline
Equipped with 5-Speed Manual Transmission (RPO MU3)
Built Prior to February 12, 2009 (Lordstown) or February 26, 2009 (Ramos)

Attention: Be advised that failures of this nature are generally caused by customer abuse. They are NOT defects in materials or workmanship for which General Motors would be responsible for and should not be covered under the terms of the new vehicle warranty. Vehicles with this complaint should be inspected by your service manager and District Service Manager (Warranty Manager in Canada). A field product report should be submitted on each case. Also, if aftermarket kits are added that may effect the driveline loads, the transmission would not be warranted.
Condition

Some customers may comment about a slipping clutch. Upon further investigation, the technician will find transmission oil in the clutch housing.
Cause

This condition may be caused by excessive front wheel hop during wide open throttle (WOT) acceleration events. Excessive wheel hop transmits a torsional shock load into the transmission case. This may cause the transmission case to fracture (as shown in graphic below) and transmission fluid to leak into the clutch housing.

Correction

Important: Prior to any work being performed, contact your District Service Manager/Warranty Manager for repair approval.
For 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS and 2004-2007 Saturn ION Redline

If this repair is approved by the District Service Manager/Warranty Manager, replace the transmission assembly. During removal of the transmission, replace the front (GM P/N 20814994) and rear (GM P/N 20814995) powertrain mounts. Refer to SI for the procedures on replacing the transmission front and rear mounts.
For 2008-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt SS and 2008-2009 Chevrolet HHR SS

If this repair is approved by the District Service Manager/Warranty Manager, replace the transmission assembly. During removal of the transmission, inspect the following parts and replace if necessary (excluding tires):
• Tire wear (excessive or uneven) front vs. rear or rubber debris in the front wheel house liner area.
• Inspect the upper right side mount for fluid leaks or (rubber) structural failure.
• Front and rear powertrain mounts, if necessary (refer to SI for the procedure on replacing the transmission front and rear mounts).

Important: Verify that the 12-volt battery has a battery charge of 12 to 16 volts. The battery must be able to maintain a charge during programming. Only use approved Midtronics 165-PCS charger or equivalent to maintain proper battery voltage during programming. The J 2534 MDI will reprogram the modules in less time than the Tech 2Ž scan tool.

Reprogram the ABS with a updated service calibration using the TIS2WEB Service Programming System (SPS) application. Make sure your Tech 2Ž is updated with the latest software version. The ABS calibration is available to dealerships in TIS2WEB (website version of TIS). Refer to Electronic Brake and/or Traction Control Module Reprogramming with SPS procedure in SI.

Warranty Information

Use labor operation and time that is approved by the District Service Manager/Warranty Manager.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

My 2010 was built in October 2009 and it doesn't have one. I just figured they did away with it for 2010 cuz I've seen them on 2008s and 2009s before.

when i bought the blue lightning dash kit for my 2007 SS, you couldn't just order the small "SS" emblem from the dash... you had to order the entire piece, which wasn't what I needed, so I popped the "SS" off my factory piece and cut some 3M 2 sided tape to fit.
You want "SS", you gotta buy the whole damn trim piece.
