H3 Door Panel Upgrade
GM has heard the complaints from customers about the poor placement of the lock/unlock and window buttons. Folks were accidentally pushing them w/ their elbow and it was difficult to reach at times. Check out the pic -- This is the new design for the front driver's door. There is a similar panel on the passenger side.

Re: H3 Door Panel Upgrade
Wow, i was upset about the way it is but now im glad i have it the way it is now. Because im a big fan of that little handle i do a lot of my driving with my right hand on the steering wheel and my other holding that handle, same goes visa versa but with the shift lever (even though i have the auto it is a good resting place). I was thinking if they changed it, it would be a whole sperate panel like on the door itself, i didnt envision them taking away that handle.

Re: H3 Door Panel Upgrade
I don't like it. Basically it takes away the left door handle for any functional use (because it's now too far back to easily grab when seated). Oh well, it's still not going to stop me from ordering a new H3 when/if a V8 model comes out

Re: H3 Door Panel Upgrade
Thats the way it should have been done in the first place!
If they hadn't been in such a hurry to get it out there, someone may have noticed stupid things like that.

Re: H3 Door Panel Upgrade
this is GREAT! my wife and i are tall, long arms, and the current setup on our '07 is a bit of a pain, though we got used to it. i'm just hoping this new one can replace the old. would this be done under warranty, or essentiall free? would they replace just the inside panel or the whole door -- probably the former. so now when do they drop in that v6 or v8??????

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.

it's all in the brownies
i emailed my dealer. wasnt even aware of the change, but emphasized no warranty coverage, but would give me a 'deal' if they can retrofit. i probably wont even bother since we're used to the original now and its a leased vehicle.
