Just went and looked at my 2017, and it looks the same as your picture. I’m going to wait till the summer and see if it forms a better seal. If it does not then I will have the dealership look at it under my bumper to bumper. When I first bought my truck the dealership could not get my tires balanced, I spent a lot of time at the dealership for them to get it fixed. I also thought they were starting to hate me, the money we pay for our trucks, I don’t care what they think. Just fix my problem.

Man, that is frustrating. I will see if my dealer will fix it before winter gets here and fixes the headlight issue. Wondering if it gets warped in places with more extreme climates.

Oops!  double post new site learning curve.....I had it probably worse than you.....and no I live in Phoenix it got worse not better with heat.  Tell them to replace it and they have no choice as the other trucks do not have same appearance!

My 2014 looked exactly like that in the pic AFTER I USED WINDSHIELD DEICER several times to clear ice and snow off the windshield. At least that is what I thought caused it........... I cannot remember the brand of deicer (prestone in a yellow labeled container maybe?) as I threw the container away after I saw the warped plastic piece.

Anyone know where to get a replacement? Or the part number?

Looked up one for my '15 Sierra 1500 and the part # is 23207952.

Available on eBay as well as several places on the web.

 

Has anyone replaced one, how much of  job is it?

old topic. 14 silverado. but mine is flapping like crazy at highway speeds. The rubber is torn off in the middle. I cant believe how close it is to the bottom edge of the windshield. gonna just replace it. I never noticed it before I had my windshields replaced. oh well. Another $100 out the window..

Just finally tracked down a very agitating rattle/vibration on my 2015 GMC Sierra that seemed to be coming from my dash at highway speeds. Finally looked under the hood to see what air movement might cause to rattle. Eventually, I saw this cowl was cracked and weather worn right at the bottom of the windshield. The whole piece was kinda loose too. Anyway, I put some duct tape at the windshield/cowl interface to check and BAM! Sure enough, this is the culprit. Will order and replace asap. It's almost 10 years old so, I guess it was time!

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
