"Brand Identification"......they put them on everything.

Then the "new GM" discontinued them in Aug '09.

Yes. They're about the same size as the gum pieces, hence the name. They differentiate the "old" GM from the "new" GM...or something.

I'd be happy to sell you mine.

All you need is one sheet-rock screw per side to put them on.

Came off real easy once I discovered the right tool was a 2" hole saw.

I tried the fishing line technique but I couldn't operate the spinning reel fast enough and the fish hooks hurt my hand.

Incorrect. They began putting them on at the beginning of the 2006 model year and stopped early in the 2010 model year.
