Be careful with that flex. It appears to have popped your trunk.

According to Wiki,  so grain of salt but, “The C5's modular body panels make excellent use of a lightweight composite material known in the automotive industry as SMC or Sheet Molded Composite, a type of fiberglass that is blended and bonded with plastics.”

My Dad’s Suburban has the same radio my C5 would have had if the previous owner didn’t thankfully change it.

The C5 was such a good car and even by today’s standards very competitive in AutoX. Just sucks GM parts binned the rest.

Part of what makes it great are shared parts like that. When it breaks,  it's cheap to replace.
