Maybe that's why GM decieded not to put a access panel there. FWIW. Oh yea, one more thing. Do you think it would add to the rattling problem with these cars?? I'm a noob here and maybe this was discused in previous threads.
Yeah that all was discussed on TGO I posted a link prviously. Only time will tell if any structrual issues occur. it all could be a matter of how the car is driven and Im sure Subframe connectors probably will play a roll in the cars that have them with this kind of acces panel and with the cars that do not have sfc.
