I’ve searched Google for an hour or so and here unsuccessfully other than people painting theirs.. Black 2015 Silverado 1500 double cab trying to swap black window sill trim to chrome but all I can find is a chrome cover or non oem parts. Any gm parts numbers for front and back windows so I can swap all this over?

Go to your dealer. Those factory parts new are around 2-300 bucks if I remember correctly.

I have a 2017 Silverado WT.  You can order the chrome piece that goes on the window trim.  I ordered the 4 chrome trim pieces and installed them a couple years ago.  I also installed chrome covers over the door handles and chrome caps on the mirrors.  None of them have come off, even when I've taken my Silverado through a car wash.  I believe the brand that I purchased was Sizver.

how do you replace the trim? i see theres a torx screw that might hold it on...

Waffle34 - you don't replace the trim.  The chrome pieces attach to the existing trim using 3M tape.

@superdave160, you are correct.
Here is a source for the trim (one of many, I'm sure):

Factory chrome window trim is metal, not a decal and it is fastened by clips and a torx. Op what part of the country are you in? I have a set of oem chrome window trim pieces that I’d trade for an oem black set.

I’m in Northwest Indiana and would be interested in a swap if we could make it work.

The aftermarket trim is also metal.

Part number 22798969 is replaced by part number 84025009.

Part number 22798970 is replaced by part number 84025010.

Part number 22894310 is replaced by part number 23227178

Part number 22894311 is replaced by part number 23227179.

Thanks, I do have a crew cab so I'll have to see if I can't find the part#'s for the back.

 

Usually gm parts are fairly easy to navigate but the part numbers for the window trim is confusing. I can find what I think is right, but I may end up having to go into the dealer.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
