Oh no. There’s about 8-10 above the headliner

Man you aren’t kidding, 8 nuts and 4 bolts!

 

Finished it up today, I was able to remove two rear and side plastics and 2 hooks above rear doors, then carefully pulled down headliner to free it from rear window trim. After that things went pretty smooth.

 

I ended up finding a great deal on a rear view mirror out of a 2019 Cadillac XT4, works great!

Nice work. Yeah, it’s really a fairly easy job to do. Hardest part is waiting for the parts to come in

[Davidj98]

If anyone is interested. I have an extra setup, I ordered lamp from two different places, got second lamp in today,  lamp with camera and used wiring harness, I got harness from a wrecked 19 with under 100 miles. I watched guy pull harness from truck, he didn’t damage it.

David,

Please contact me directly .... If priced right, I may be interested in this light assembly with camera.

I'm presuming I can fit this to my present 2019 spoiler.

Yes with lamp and this harness you will not need spoiler. If you order only lamp from GM you would not get This wiring harness.  I just listed it on for sale thread.

OK David ....

I think I want this unit .... if the price is right.

 

Please email me directly and tell me what you're asking for it.

If you email me your phone number we can speak directly

The lamp bolts to the spoiler with 4 torx. Piece of cake to swap out

Is the new spoiler with lamp assy also a led? I don’t have a cam on mine but is led

[Davidj98]

Yes it’s a sealed LED housing just like your current lamp.

Fantastic info. Looking to do this as well.  I have a few questions hopefully someone can help out:

 

As far as the headliner is concerned, does everything (visors,hooks,etc) need to come off and the whole thing need to come down, or is it just the back to remove the spoiler, and along one side ?

 

I have a sunroof, any idea if that makes things a lot harder ?

 

I have the auto-dimming mirror now. I would assume the new mirror just uses the same plug the existing mirror is using, mounts the same, but just has an additional wire off it for the coax ?

 

Any help from those who have done this before would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for sharing, super useful info!

For those who did this procedure, how did  you disable the airbags, I couldn't find a fuse.  Or did you not disable them ?

To be safe I disconnected battery during install, not sure it was needed though
