2016 Bed Corner Protector...paint chips no more!

[14GMCSLTSIERRA]

I just noticed that the 2016 Silverado's have a molded plastic protector for the leading edge of the lower corner of the bed... Neat idea to stop paint from chipping....

Yeah that's actually pretty cool, I've noticed the same thing couple of days ago.

one of the first things I noticed when I picked up my 2016..

[14GMCSLTSIERRA]

Yeah, I like them. I just ordered a set for my 2014 Sierra!

Also ordered the 3M 6396 Adhesive Promoter from Amazon (oh why not....)

Good idea. Looking at my truck, I have 20k on the the truck and no chips yet. I'm thinking my factory side steps/running boards prevent this. Any thoughts?

[GMC-AT]

Yep.. the side boards help preventing a lot of chips on the side of the truck. My old 2014 didn't have these...but I had running boards... and no chips on the side with 30K miles..

Edit-my truck already has these lol.

I noticed it on my 16, if I had a brighter color I would not like it but, on the Tungsten it blends in. My last truck had 32k miles on it and I never noticed any chips in that spot.

Anyone have a GM part number for the protector

23469126 Protector, Pubx Paint(Black) – LH 1 23469127 Protector, Pubx Paint(Black) – RH 1

These are the part numbers I used with my parts department. They list for somewhere around $14.00 ea. I got them down to $9 something a piece.

Nice little upgrade hope my dealer has them

Also - my 2016 has the gravel guard paint all the way down the lower sides ... I don't remember my 2014 having this..
