Normal warranty is the vehicle manufacturers warranty, in this case GM. You would need to ask the person who told you that to be sure though, they could have meant something totally different.

First I've heard of this. I would think the weatherstripping would be covered within the "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems odd.

HI there,

Find another dealership.

This is a tough repair to perform, and it takes about 3 hours to correctly. The windshield does not have to be removed, but the moldings all around the windshield DO>

Allthebest, c4c5
