Can anyone tell me if the 2018 overhead console with the larger sunglasses holder will fit in a 2017 Silverado?

Thanks!

The first one from 2014 had a “soft down” feature which made it a bit smaller. My 2015 had it except I thought they changed it in 2016.

As is my understanding.

I want to add homelink and figured i might as well change the whole thing so i can actually use the sunglass holder

I have a 2016 and it has a soft open feature too. What years did they change them out? Anybody have part numbers. Searched this and didn't see anything jump out for results

 

Part of me believes the sunglass holder was 30K and the rest of the truck was 5K. My 04 grand cherokee didn't have an sun glass holder and I installed one month before I got rid of it. But for that one month it was the best feature in that jeep.

Now I need to see some pics............I didn't know there was a different one

I will likely order mine this week now that I know it will fit. I will take pictures and post them in this thread.

Subbed for results. If you wouldn't mind post the old and new part numbers for people who stubble onto this thread later and for us to know which one we have and what we need. Cheers man, stoked.

Side note I've always wanted the overhead console one with the mirror from the suburban to see if that'll fit.@pgamboa any trial and error with that one?

I have an early 2017 & has the soft open glasses compartment too but mine fit in it fine. I didn't know they changed it in 2018. I think they list the same part nos. depending on the options (Homelink, rear glass slider, sunroof, etc.) Mines a LTZ double door, so no sunroof.

That is the exact same one in my 2016 CCSB I have the plastic square ray bans and they fit and have plenty of room. Assuming the small ones won't fit the 'Pit Viper' sunglasses cause they are massive?

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

    • 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.
