Discontinued part help

SparkyG · April 18, 2021

Hi everyone. I have a 2012 Silverado with an "OEM" tonneau cover. The part number of tonneau is 22870555. https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-cover-22870555.html This is the part # for the entire assembly, there is no breakdown ( That I can find) of the individual parts. The actual lock for the cover is broken. 2 different locksmiths told me they couldn't help and I need to find the part myself. All GM parts places that I have tried have it listed as discontinued ( no surprise here) I believe what I need to do is find the original manufacturer to see if they can help. My local GM dealership said they can't help because they have n o I formation more than I have. My local truck accessory place wasn't able to help. Lastly. I called the largest truck dealer around to see if they could help. Their sales guys were Johnny's on the spot but I could not get their parts people to return my contact.

Can anyone suggest a way to find the manufacturer or a replacement lock?

Hey Sparky,

I do searches like this all the time. That part number is also color specific. You'll want to look for the other colors and see what turns up. When you find those, run searches including the words "instructions" or "manual" and some sites still include links to the pdfs for installation. You can also observe the shape of the Chevrolet cover and see if ARE or other brands match it as GM undoubtedly contracted with someone to offer it. Try ebay too using a variety of search terms to see what comes up. Welcome to the forum.
