My GM rep told me 3 weeks ago that a real fix is coming, and to tell my customers that the emblem i put on today, may (and probably will) de-lam again. They are changing to a new supplier and process. The "new" emblems will be out soon. Wish i could say a date.
My 07 emblem is/was perfect, the original supplyer must have made them right. Then...they must have changed because something happened. I popped off my outer plastic cover (carefully with a putty knife), painted it body color, and glued it back onto the chome backer. Looks great.
But, if you are going to buy one, buy one for an Avalanche. It is deeper, center of the bowtie sticks out further, and IMO, has a better looking gold color. It has tabs on the back, (Avalanche has alignment holes in the gate) that would need to be sniped off for use on a Silverado. Otherwise, it is the same size and same adhesive backing.
I do so many of them, i dream about them. There are new trucks on the lot with bad ones.
