Hi everybody!

New Stinger GT Limited AWD (canadian GT2) owner. Had the car for a month now. Thunder Grey. Very satisfied. Was a dealer demo and altough I didn't have much of a deal, it was included with almost 5k$ worth of accessories:
- Winter tires and wheels
- Winter carpets
- Clear film on front
- Dark (really dark) tinted back windows.

Love to read all the comments here.

I'd say my first minor issues are squeaks from Windows and Moonroof seals depending on the weather, like we had a couple of above 35C in Montreal in the last month.

Otherwise, fantastic car. A blast to drive.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your Stinger GT! What did the Stinger replace for you?

Welcome to the hive! Give all the door seals and mating surfaces a good wipe down with some silicone spray on a clean cloth.

Thanks! Will do!

First I got my large Stinger emblem to replace the Kia badge in the back

Next time I go to the hardware store I will get a silicone spray.

Howdy. Welcome to the forum. Extras are good, as long as you don't pay extra for them.

I will, as sonn as I get it washed a bit .

Thanks for the suggestions on the rubber grease. After som careful hearing, I think it's only coming from the moon roof.

I see the rubber is shiny, but somehow it's only shiny on 1/2 the whole rubber seal.

Now shpping / getting information on dash cams...

Ok. After like 10 weeks, I:

• Replaced the Kia badge with the big Stinger badge in the back;
• installed a VIOFO 129 pro duo hard wired and all wires concealed. Pretty proud of that one. Car is working just like before even after tapping in the moonroof and the power adapter fuses.
• Lubed all weather seals with a silicone lubricant in spray - doors, moonroof and hatch and wow, all squeaks are gone!! Dead quiet now!!

Next I’m thinking of replacing all Kia badges with nicer ones .
