My 2010 GS the ONSTAR box (?) becomes unstuck from the windshield when my car sits in the hot sun. I know the glue is getting weak, being four years old. And I will have the dealer take a look at it when I take it in for inspection. But has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes other than new glue/ tape?
Thanks, Kliph

i have to reinstall mine in a few days. just did the windshield. just hanging for now. I wonder if you had a windshield replacement and the new adhesive/tape just isn't holding? Can you post a picture of the box and then the outside of the windshield in that area?

Can you see the attachment clip that mounts into the module? i'm leaving that part off this one as it makes little sense for it to be there since it's a positive locking clip anyway. impossible to disengage without removing the windshield in the first place!

If it attaches to the windshield, go to any auto parts store and buy a tube of rear view mirror adhesive. Small tubes and they are not expensive.

I use a reflective windshield cover when I park in the sun.

When I was looking at a new 2010 a few years ago the Onstar box was hanging off the windshield.

I just think the glue gets too hot and let's go.

I think that's the OnStar box. The GPS antenna is under the dash.

My 2009 had that w/OnStar, but no nav. However, it never fell off (70,000 mi). My '05 has nav, but no box.

It's OnStar.
