Pressure pad door handle
Anyone having problems with the pressure pad door handles on C6? My passenger side works great, but the driver's side seems to require some searching for the right spot. Sometimes it works great, other times I have to squeeze numerous times to open door. Suggestions?

This is a common problem - you might want to replace the Exterior Door Handle Switch yourself.
It is an inexpensive item and is very easy to do (remove 2 phillips screws).
You can purchase this item from Gene Culley (GMPartsHouse.com) at this link:

(You may want to consider purchasing 2 switches, since the other one may eventually give trouble as well.)
Good luck!

Clean them, I had the same issue and they now work fine. Just open them up and you will find contacts much like many remotes. Just clean the metal side with an eraser or purchase some electrical contact cleaner
