Question: C5 Plastic

[jwawhite]

My trim is going to waste-land in the car. First, the visor mirrors went capooee and now the electric switch for the fuel door is gone.....

It appears I will need to order a new console, the eyelits that held the switch, 3 of 4 have failed. Where to buy?


Went to add some windshield washer fluid and the cap retaining part is going.


This car is about 8 years old but why can't the plastic last just a bit longer?


I am not complaining, just pointing out what is happening to my car, I just love to drive it!

Are you the original owner?

Those issues sound like disassembly and/or re-assembly problems.

I have a 2002 and my plastic is fine,just buy new pieces to replace the old and move on.Things wear out due to sun heat,cold or whatever
