Review on ๐Ÿ”ง ACDelco GM Original Equipment Air Inlet Door Actuator: Optimal Heating and Air Conditioning Performance by Eric Surabhi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Genuine GM part - rough outer casing - don't be fooled - this is a new part

I initially posted a negative review about Delco sending me a used part. But I guess Delco just didn't put much effort into the plastic molding because it's hidden under the dash. So, yes, the part looks used, but upon closer inspection (and ordered from a second source, same box/part came), the first DIRECT FROM DELCO was clearly NEW. So my apologies (even if this negative review was never published). Airbag hole* Most people (and youtube videos) show how to get in through the glove box. Both methods work, one is faster. I will be comfortable. Just buy OEM. Aside from the OEM being only $40 - too many aftermarket reviews (Dorman etc) - just a tad cheaper - it's rubbish. only a few months. This particular Vibe drive is always under load. and the original lasted 14 years so I'm going to use the GM OEM original. When it's just before winter, the last thing you want is to lose a blender at the door - because you're buying this aftermarket brand for $20 less (Dorman actually has $10-15 more). If we have snow in our northern climate - you'll be glad you put the OEM - and you won't have to repeat the process (especially if you don't have a garage). My advice. Go with the GM part.
