2015 Sierra Floor Console Latch Replacement

[signatureseries54com21]

I decided I liked the look of the chrome latch instead of the black that goes on the floor console so I ordered one (22861304). The problem is that when I went to remove the old latch assembly I couldn't figure out how to remove the console lid lining and there was no information to be found anywhere. If anyone is interested, here are some photos of the console lid and latch.

Two Torx T15 screws on either side of the latch assembly and a single Phillips screw in the middle.

You can also see the underside of the floor console lid now that the trim liner piece has been removed.

The trim piece has 10 of the friction clips that have to be pried out. I used the plastic car trim removers to do that with so that there was no damage to the console lid or trim piece.

Here you can clearly see 3 on the left and right edges and 4 in the middle.

This was an informative post. The handle was replaced in less than 10 minutes. It's a less than $30 mod. All these little details add up to make a very sweet ride.

Was the above part number listed the one you bought. When I bring it up it does not mention it being chrome.

Yes, 22861304 is the correct part number that I used. For High Country, and Denali.

 

22792217 is for the latch with the standard, non-chrome plated handle.

I just started a thread about one mod leading to another and here we go again! First it was the console swap that led to other mods and now I have to change to this latch so it matches the door handles. Thanks for the tip and instructions!

Thanks for the reply, pretty straight forward install? Did you follow the pictures above?

[2017SierraSLT]

Yes, very simple. Carefully pry the inside plastic from the lid. Then you will see 3 screws holding the latch on the lid. One is Phillips head, 2 are T15 Torx. Remove the old latch, then screw the new latch on. After that, snap the plastic cover back on, being careful of the wire harness for the cell phone charger.

Thanks again for all of the info.

Just installed, very easy. Hardest part was prying the clips loose. Thanks for the post.

Just scored one on eBay for $10 shipped! Sweet!!

[cbrsilv15]

Now eBay seller texasautoparts doesnt have this in stock and has to contact GM........ looks like they wont honor the $10 selling price instead of the $30 others have. Ill never buy from them again. Pretty shady.

[2017SierraSLT]

That is super shady.

 

The $30 price is wholesale. The GM list is $37.73 for 22861304.
