Sorry I hadn't responded, I had to go check the flavor of my headlights. They're cinnamon... I haven't done it to my '07 since it doesn't need it but I have used toothpaste on a Lexus I owned a few years ago when one of the headlight covers got scuffed by a knucklehead in a Ram pickup...

Mother's plastic polish works really well. Toothpaste will also work.

Careful use of a heat gun takes them right off. Grab each letter/badge on the edge with needlenose or other pliers. No need to pry under them, the glue melts then you clean it up with goo gone or WD40. Worked fine for me, no paint issues.

I'm guessing it's to keep the hot air dry so your windows don't fog. I'll also guess that the AC turns on in defrost mode for exactly the same reason.

Does the heat feel 'cold' only once the previous set point has been reached? What I'm wondering is if you set the temperature to 80 and the heater reaches that point and then you reduce the set point to 78, then by default the air that's being blown has to be cooler in order to move it from 80...

Maybe this was already posted but a search didn't find it. For those of you with black cloth seats in '07 and up vehicles, there is a TSB out now from GM to help deal with the lint accumulation issue. If you have one of these vehicles you know what I'm referring to - - the fact that the...

I got GMS pricing (employee pricing) on my '07 late last year without being a relative or employee. At that time, not sure if it was a year-end program or what, you could get GMS pricing thru the supplier discount program if you were buying a new GM product to "replace" a non-GM product. Mind...

Adding one more to my previous list: - applying the slightest tension to the shoulder belt in any way while driving seems to activate the 'crash mode' in the belt tensioner. Anybody elses do that too? My '04 Trailblazer did the same thing. Must be a GM thing. I understand the concept...

The glass release button is well hidden, under the right hand corner of the trim piece above the license plate. It's a soft-push rubber feeling button.

I wanted the same thing 4 months ago. Best I could find at the time was this rubber mat. Does not have the molded-in feature I wanted but is flexible enough to sort of accomodate that. Not perfect but decent, and anything you put back there helps it flatten out...

Had a weird one happen today. When I came home last night the button in the Tahoe opened the door just fine. Went to leave today and the door wouldn't shut. Went thru a debug process, worked with my wife's car and the regular remotes just not the Tahoe. No matter what I tried it would not...

Be careful using the heat gun. The chrome bowtie behind the gold one is also plastic and can be deformed or made wavy if you get it too warm. A heat gun works great on the E85 and other emblems on the paint, come right off and softens the glue you need to remove.

Not all brake pad materials from the OEM's or within an OEM are the same. I worked in the chassis engineering group at GM at one point and we had more different pad materials than you could count. They all react differently to temperature, moisture, driving conditions, etc. I borrowed a...

I'm an Ohio State grad from the mid-80's and it was the first username I'd tried that wasn't already taken.

After looking at the stock one compared to the billet one I bought but haven't installed yet, I decided to buy the stock one from the dealer and simply remove the gold portion of the emblem from its chrome background. No pins between them so fishing line works just fine. The billet one is one...

I stand corrected. My local dealer had one in stock I took a look at. It has 2 small pins on the back for aligment purposes during assembly. Fairly small in dia.

The only biller rear emblem I've found is flat on the back, no studs, which leads me to believe the original is stuck on with double sided tape like the side emblems. You can remove the gold portion of it as an alternative which leaves a nicer looking chrome bowtie underneath.

Does it happen on the first few stops after you depart? Or on the first couple of stops after a rain? Sometimes the pad material takes some amount of heat input before they operate as intended, and a couple of very light stops right after you first drive it can make them chirp as a result...

Check WeatherTech. Love the set I have, second row goes all the way across.

All you have to do is turn the headlight switch counterclockwise after starting the vehicle and and the DRL's turn off. The Trailblazer has an indicator light near the headlight switch to tell you they're off but the Tahoe does not. Just a quick bump of the switch in that direction and they're...
