Since there have been so many threads on items cut from 2003 AVs that were on the 2002 I thought we could help GM out and give some suggestions on what could be cut for 2004. Im sure some GM bean counters look at this site for cost-cutting ideas. For 2003 the AV lost the under hood and glove box lights, glove box and center console locks, roof rack rubber strips and many items went from std. to options. Here are some of my suggestions to save GM big dollars:
Tire valve caps - 5 at 10 cents each could save GM 50 cents per truck.
If factory reduces tire pressure by 5 pounds in each tire think of all the labor and electricity that could be saved.
Passenger door key lock - Mercedes-Benz and Jeep eliminated them years ago.
Studies show that most people roll down both driver's and left rear window at same time to reduce wind - why have two switches? Thinks of savings.
That tint band on top of windshield - only blocks sun for about 1/2 hour a day - keep cutting.
Air Bag warning label - why have one for driver and one for passenger - could reduce that cost by 50% if just put one in center on headliner.
Please add your suggestions to help GM return to profitability.
