Silverado Sunroof Install?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is there a way for a dealer to install an OEM sunroof on my truck?

 

I have a 2015 Silverado CCSB Z71 LT. 

 

1. I am unwilling to purchase a new truck just for this option. Additionally, I am not worried about resale value because I plan to run this truck until the wheels fall off.

2. I WILL NOT install an aftermarket sunroof in the fear of leaking or unessecary wear overtime.

Dealerships will sub out the job    they dont actuslly do it. Just like if you buy a lifted or lowered truck.  The work is subbed out

All the dealer does is send it out the sunroofs are all aftermarket when dealer installed. The only thing they do is order a factory headliner and sun shade. If I was going that route I would try and have them also install the factory buttons.

Only way to get a "true OEM sunroof" is to buy a truck that was built with a sunroof from the factory. Other than that there is no true OEM sunroof install.

I don't think a dealer will install a OEM sunroof. I went to my local dealer and asked if they could do leather seats in my truck and they said they would of just sent the truck out to a shop to get it done. They gave me the name of the shop i looked it up and it ended up a Katzkin dealer.

I'm sure you can order it through the parts department but this dealer doesn't do any leather install they just send it to a shop to get it done.

I had one installed on my 15. Better warranty than OEM from GM and more options.

Just curious how a sunroof can have more options? They tilt and slide, what else?

Thanks everyone for the input so far! I guess I have some thinking to do.....

 

I have a feeling I might just let this thought in my mind fade because aftermarket sunroof fabrications sounds scary and maybe more hassle than what it's worth.

 

Additionally, If anyone has any success or failure stories, I'm all ears. lol

It had auto-close and maybe something else. It was great; never a problem.

    • Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.
    • Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.
    • Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.
    • Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
