Common problem(s) on 07 SGT

[slamarre]

All,

 

I know that there is probably many topics about that but i do not want to search through 1 year+ of messages...

 

When i will be at the dealership for the delivery, what area, items, location, etc i should inspect visually on a 07 black SGT before leaving the lot?

 

I know there was some issues with the hood scoop, can someone tell me more on that?

 

I there other stuff to lookout for?

 

Thanks.

Look over the stripes real good. They are vinyl so they can be damage easily.

 

The scoop is going to be your biggest concern. It can more around with the temp changes. Check the gap around the scoop. Make sure it is sitting flat, that there is no dips or bulges. Check the stripes around the scoop to make sure there is no ripples or tearing. Check that the stripes are centered on the scoop.

I suggest you read through some of the posts in the Tech/Mod area.

 

Summary of the more common concerns:

 

1. Loose rear deck letter(s)

2. Warped or lifting hood scoop

3. Damaged stripes

4. Damaged or faulty hood pins

5. Rattle in shifter

 

Many cars had no issues, some had one, some like mine had more, in each case these are fixed under warranty.
