Front headlight rubber molding

[JohnnyB]

The black molding on and around my headlights has started to lift up and come off. Anyone experiencing this problem and brought it in to the dealer. Is it a quick fix or do they order new molding.....

I had this problem. They ordered the parts when I took it in for 5000 mile service. I still have not heard that their in and I now have 7500 miles on it.

JohnnyB,

Unfortunately this is not uncommon. My 01 Cobra did the same thing. I had the dealer replace them them once. Then on round two I got out the "gel super glue" and reglued it myself.. BTW if you run 100W bulbs the heat seems to make it worse....

I had this very early on and had the dealer replace both front headlamp assemblies. My concern was moisture was getting in due to the poor fit.

I've noticed that when I wash the Marauder, the headlight assembly lens gets all fogged-up, can this be a poor seal due to the molding or is this common. My headlight assembly on the Chevy TrailBlazer I traded-in did not do this, If no one else has experienced this with their Marauder than it's off to the dealership for a new headlight assembly for both sides, not just the molding, it's under warranty and I'm getting the new piece. This Board is GREAT!!! :rock: :rock:

When I bought mine, I noticed the seal lifting on the one I test drove, so I looked at the others.. on all 7 cars my dealer had, the headlight seal was lifted. Bad design.

[JohnnyB]

I'm going to bring it in.... problem is if they have to order the parts it's another trip and another day off from work...... I could glue it and seal it myself but if it's under warranty.....
I agree.........it is a very poor design

JB: what was the fix? Mine is lifting on the right side only. Did your dealer replcae the trim or the whole headlight assembly?

[Beadhead]

Keepin it current.

JB: are you out there?

[JohnnyB]

I'm here. been too cold and have not scheduled an appointment with the dealer. Will probably do so later in JAnuary after my company releases earnings for 2002 and I can take a day off.... will let you all know how it goes
