My dealers service department said they could glue them down; however, there must be a more professional way to correct this assembly defect.
GM Canada was of no help.
Is there anyone out there that has a solution?
Perhaps 62vetteefp would know if this can be easily corrected? A service bulletin number would be great.
Thanks

New Epsilon II chassis version on the way. Product to begin in early 2009. Looks promising.
Things to come inside the next generation LaCrosse/Regal. Sweet.
With all these things on our mind, we found the LaCrosse Super to be a vastly different vehicle from the base LaCrosse, and were pleasantly surprised at what the Super brought to the road. The performance gurus took a pillow-soft platform and made it stiff and compliant by using much stiffer Bilsteing monotube struts. Steering was also tweaked, and the brakes were up-sized. The result is a Buick that can not only hit 60 in 5.7 seconds, but can also hit a turn at speed without feeling like it's going to tip. The Super is one of those vehicles that makes you think you're not going as fast as you are, so we had to really watch the speedometer while accelerating and cruising on the freeway. The LaCrosse Super's steering is also far more weighted and precise than what we're used to in a Buick, and coupled with four pinned-down wheels, this sedan was both more fun to drive and more luxurious than the V8-powered Impala SS we drove a year ago.
The engineers that put the Super in the LaCrosse deserve a small round of applause for what they did here, as it represents a great deal of fun and amenities for a relative bargain. GM intends to only make as many LaCrosse Supers as people will want, and 10% of overall sales tends to be the magic number. Even though the base LaCrosse can be had with an improved 3.6L V6, our V8-powered Super with a $33,750 price tag is the only LaCrosse that we'd consider. For shoppers looking at a Mercury Sable, Toyota Avalon, or Chrysler 300C, the LaCrosse Super is definitely worth a passing glance.
This particular car was built in March of 2005, if that matters.
I have high expections for the Epsilon II LaCrosse coming out in 2009/2010. I am expecting to replace this car with another Buick if it continues to meet my expectations.
So, unfrotunately we will probably not see the aux (new radio does not fit in old LaCrosse hole and adding aux woudl be cost prohibitive) until next year with the new Eps II LaCrosse.
The way that the oil system works is interesting. Sensors and the Computer determine when the oil needs changing based on speed, engine RPM's and other criteria. Really is a neat feature.
However it does take some getting used to for some of us old geezers who were raised on the premise of changing oil every 3000 miles.
The wifes LaCrosse only has 9000 miles on it. I had the oil changed at 5000 miles even though the Oil Monitor (she has the Driver Information Display) was only at 57% remaining.
With 4000 miles on the vehicle since the last change (and monitor reset) it stands at 61% oil life. Her driving consists of 10% city driving and 90% open road.
At the Indianapolis auto show last week, I noted to the Buick rep that, again, with me being in the market for a new car, I cannot consider Buick's Lacrosse since there is still no ipod option....and this leaves them one of the ONLY cars in this class without one in 2008. Accord, Camry, Passat, Impreza, Impala, Altima, etc., etc., etc. ALL have this as an option. If they want to get the Buick image past the "old person" stigma, then this is the first thing that needs to change. :mad:
Overall I was completely satisfied with service experience I got at Jimmy Smith Pontiac-Buick-GMC in Athens, AL. I know most post here about problems, but I thought it would be good to post a good news story on service. This is the type of stuff that will probably keep me driving Buicks for a long time to come.
Very true, few take the time to go on the net and say good things. One good thing is that Lexus and Buick tied at 145 problems per hundred vehicles at 3 years reliability according to JD Power. Tied for first place!!

For 2009 the LaCrosse will be one vehicle for everyone with minor differences. ?Same interior, same exterior.
Thank you.
I am not an automotive expert, but I know where several knowledgeable people post on the web. Recommend you try link titleand see if anyone there knows how to disassemble your w-body dash.

Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a 6 speaker sound system on my CXS and it continues to offer symphony hall quality sound 3 years after buying it. My prior Buick Regal had the Series 3800 engine that is in the CXL and its throaty sound signature, while an interesting attribute when accelerating, was too much for the sound system in that one.
I had an '05 company CSX that I liked so much I ordered an '06 CXS for my personal car. The '05 had the top 9 speaker sound system. I took a chance and only got the standard 6 speaker system in the '06. I can say that my radio sounds every bit as good as the uplevel model.

I still don't understand (and neither does my car salesman) why Buick decided not to provide a plug-in port for iPods (like Chevy does with their radios).
Buick uses the older radio platform that did not have the input port. Simple as that. The new platform does not easily fit into the old space and GM did not want to spend the money to make it fit midway thru the LaCrosse lifecycle. If LaCrosse would have come out a year later it would of had the new radio.
I'll have to yell at my Buick salesman for not knowing what you just said. I can't believe that Buick wouldn't spend the extra money to include the newer platform radios (with auxiliary MP3 audio inputs) in a luxury car like the LaCrosse. After all, aren't they (along with Cadillac) supposed to be GM's premium motorcar division?
How can they? Every year many new features are introduced on new models. No manufacturer can keep making yearly changes on their carryover models. It would cost them billions to do it. They tool up a vehicle at $XXXXXXX and then they would have to spend money every year to retool it over and over. No one does that unless there is a real issue with quality or a real game changer. LaCrosse came out in '05 and it will be replaced in '09. The audio inputs came out in GM about '07 in large volume. Very hard to think they would spend the money and engineering resources for one or two years.
LOL. Billions? Maybe millions. BTW, you don't have to defend GM on my account. I'm a very long time GM buyer, and I see how they skimp to save a few bucks here and there. I'm sure they've even substituted cheaper materials on your 'Vette just to save a few pennies. It makes the pencil pushers and bean counters very happy.
Sorry, I was referring to the entire industry if they tried to update every vehicle every year to have the latest whatever.
Took it to the dealer while the car is still under the warranty, does not look good to me. Service advisor blamed me for following Oil Life System instead 3000 miles schedule!?! So GM got it wrong with OLS, according to their Good Wrench web page oil should be OK for 4000-7000 miles. Mine is below level after 3K.
