2021 Kicker Multipro Tailgate System HELP!!!

So I had a 2020 GMC AT4 with the multipro tailgate for about 6 weeks before someone ran a stop sign and totaled it. I had ordered a bass boat to match the truck so as soon as it was totaled I was on the hunt for a replacement of the EXACT same truck. I ended up finding one states away that showed up 2 weeks after the initial delivery date and I had rescheduled my flight to go get it 4 times. When it did finally come in I flew down to get it on a Saturday and the dealership did not have time to install the kicker system in the tailgate on this truck but I told them no big deal because I knew i install it with no issues. Now this new truck is a 2021 instead of a 2020 but I don't see where anything has changed in the tailgate. Well of course if I'm posting this I have an issue...LOL

 

I was able to install all the brackets, components and wires with no issues  but when it came to the final step of hooking up the kicker panel and installing it, it will not fit. I have attached a picture of the instructions and you can see in that picture the panel has a recessed area in the middle to go around the bolts. It also has double holes that you have to drill in the tailgate to install. The panel that came in the GM box does not have the recessed edges for it to fit. It also has one hole between the speakers and the double holes on the ends of the panel do not even line up with the holes in the tailgate. I'm thinking that this is a panel that goes to a different vehicle...but how could that be? Do any other vehicles even have this kicker setup?

The part number listed on the box seems correct but that panel definitely different from the one on my 2020 Sierra Denali. There are two screws in each section on my panel. If you compare the plastic section from the the top edge to the top of the speaker grill, it appears shorter on your new part. How about the length of it from end to end?  Has GM announced Kicker tailgate speakers for the Silverado Multiflex tailgate or even another truck like the Hummer or Colorado? Maybe it's been re-boxed and you have the wrong part. Hope your dealership can resolve it. Keep us posted.

 

Here's a pic of my speakers.

Seems to be a part/box mix-up because that appears to be the one for the HD pickup tailgate!kicker.jpg.866dfa0419afba1827fa1c2145bda7f1.jpg

I faced the same problem about half a year ago.
I received a panel by mail that simply did not fit my car, I could not do anything about it, I will be glad if there is someone here who solved this problem!

If it's an official GM part just go to your local dealer, that's what I did.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
