Soft Side Cargo Bags:

I've found the original manufacturer and am twisting an arm for a quote on 50 sets.

Will advise when I know more.

Mike:

If this winds up being a "go", please inform them of the warping probelm which is inherent in the original design of the bags. Hopefully they could make a modification to reinforce the outside edge of the bags, so that the fanatics do have to wind up doing that fix on there own.

I actually have sent them my unopened set of bags, still in the box. The reason that they warp is the way they were built and packaged. I've already asked for some "product improvement" in that area. Thay have a sample of their original design in hand and I hope they can make a simple fix with just a materials change.

We'll wait and see.

Thanks for the input Alex. It's always good to hear from you.

My cargo bags were warped too but when ya fill them up with various items seems to pretty much take care of that.
 
Rear Bag

I have the soft side bags with the "Alex" repair kit. Thanks, Alex... I'm 6 ft 1in, but they can be a little tough to reach. Kim has a really tough time, without rubbing the top of the tailgate. I don't know the exact name, but I'd really like to see the soft bag that fits between the side bags, reproduced.

I was just able to get a set of the soft side bags for $125 from the dealer. I saw the "sag", but I think I can easily fix it. If I come up with one, I will post it for all.
Some one has already found a fix....do a search. :)
 
Very Interested in Soft Bags

I tried to order a set of soft side bags recently from the dealer. He thought he was going to be able to get them, but they have never come in. I had heard they were discontinued. If someone comes up with a way to order them, I would be very interested if the cost is reasonable. I have a set of the hard side bags, we leave the tops off, but they take up so much room you can't get much else in the back. Sometimes we take one out, but that is a lot of trouble. I know we are probably lazy, but what can I say.
 
soft bags

I am working with the orginal vendor who made the soft bags for the ssr, who is in ca. I takes time to get the part relicensed with gm since ASC left a bad taste in the suppliers for not paying the bills, this is what happened on the roof modules, GM finaly paid off the vendor to get them remade.

You have some very interesting information....

Maybe you and Marc NY could get together and help us here understand which parts may be coming back into stock and which parts we may have to scrounge for or get made by someone else (if even possible). It would be nice not to have duplicate efforts going on, etc., etc.

Thanks.

John I can only tell you what I happen to hear from time to time. I don't have any new news of late on any new official part vendors whom GM might be working with. All I can say is that I know they are looking for and working with new vendors all the time.
 
Well fanatics I think it is time once again to try to get another new GM OEM Vendor to step up to the plate, right? We have just seen that happen with the GM Windbreaks, so do you think we need another Vendor to step up and retool and start to remake those great soft side saddle bags for our members again??? What do you think?

Just take a look at what one eBay-er is already getting bids on and there are still more than 2 + days left to bid! $930.00 :eek

What about the cargo bag...soft bag that goes across the rear bed? Are you checking in to having that made as well and how much? Very interested in that at a reasonable price.

:cheers :ssr
