Problems/Service/Maintenance Do you have problems with your new 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4L? What kind of service did you have done?

SS SC owners, check your wings.

just got back from the dealer, they fixed my wing issues, those inserts are held my double sided tape, my door vinyls were not in stock but when they arrive they will fix them and put them on properly cuz apparently the machine that puts them on has issues lol and i got my car reflashed for the idleing issue i had and so far so good, it happened less when i filled up for the first time with shell v power so hopefully with this reflash it corrects the problem.

i think the problem with the wings are going to be prominant being that the trunk is hard to open unless u use the wing to assit you.
they should never have made the trunk like that.

they should come up with a fix, something like stronger gas shocks that help open the trunk because of the added weight of the bigger ss/sc wing. z's have the same problem when you add pretty much anything other than the OEM lip spoiler, a lot of the time you have to press the trunk open button twice to get it to disengage the locking mechanism...at least ours release fully.

The only problem that I could see with stronger gas shocks would be closing it. It would be nice if you popped it and it opened just a lil more that it does now. I usually close it using the back up light as a handle so as not to touch/scratch the paint.
