Fiberglass Lifting on Front Bumper

[Martha1905]

I bought a C6 and where the front bumper comes to a point near the headlights by the corner as it meets the hood the fiberglass is lifting on both sides. Has anyone had their C6 do this as well. It this a common thing?

Martha - that isn't fibreglass, rather a molded material. I can't visualize the problem as you describe it, but it sure isn't common. Take it to the dealer for a replacement front end cap.

That seems like it would be an expensive proposition for them. I know the Vette has a bumper to bumber warranty so it would probably be covered. The problem was hard for me to describe you have to see it to know how to describe it.

The dealer really doesn't care how expensive it is to replace, they just bill GM for materials and labor. If the nose is deformed, there really isn't any way to fix it, except for tension on the mounting hardware, and that really doesn't work, except for minor adjustments. Replacement should NOT be a pain. They probably can order the parts, and replace the old nose in a day (unless they need to match your paint for some reason). Rich
