It will take close to a month before door pads and other parts will be available at the dealer. There are approx 40 parts to change from the old to all new numbers. If you had the old model and the dealer were to switch out door pads, there are plenty of old model door pads in service for repair.

Are you checking the bell and howell site or PBS, if so, it takes up to two months to update.
I'll take a look Monday at the new site and see if there are any part numbers for the new door panels.
Can it be updated...sure, but it might take some splicing and adding some wires to the connectors (not sure).

No splicing needed. A jumperwire is now used to extend the door harness on left and right front doors. As far as parts availability, probably will be a month or more as we are just keeping up with the plant.

i dont like it. I've had no problem with the way it is now. looks wierd.

I don't mind the way the door handle looks, but will the rear doors be upgraded as well?

I have to say, that I'm torn between the two panels.

On one hand I like the new style, and would seriously consider having new panels put in to replace the old.
But...
On the other hand, It's nice to have the original 2006 design, as it is all 1st model year. Motor, furniture, etc.

Cool...... Builder Keep us posted.. I'm up for a change out. If I don't like it I can always ebay it..

I wonder if this will fix the access to the seat controls, too?

[Hummer Guy]

I haven't gotten in one and adjusted the seat -- but GM says that the change gives you more access to seat controls by thining out the door panel..
