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?

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!

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
