Part Name & Number for Tailgate Button Cover?

[TexasKeith]

I recently purchased a used, 2020 GMC Sierra. The top of the plastic cover over the two tailgate buttons has a crack in it, and I have looked and looked and haven’t been able to find a part number or even what it is supposed to be called. Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction? 
 

Also, has anyone ever replaced one of these? Is it difficult? 
 

I love this truck. There have been a few things that I have had to fix, or chose to upgrade, but this one bugs me every time I open the tailgate. Pics attached of the part I am referring to in case I have not been clear with my explanation. 
 

Thanks!

I could only find it in the chrome version, not sure why the black one didn't come up.

He has the multipro gate.

on our 2021 we had to buy the whole thing, dealer said you cant buy separate parts.

Looks like that one hit the hitch ball. Be sure to remove the hitch when opening the small section of the tail gate.

Yes, that was my thought also. I fall into the “I don’t drive around with my hitch in place when I’m not towing” category. Although I understand how someone could accidentally hit the wrong button. It took me a few times to remember which button is which. I didn’t realize for two weeks that the handle actually has a diagram to help us slow learners.

         Had mine almost a year and never noticed that. Thanks

Where is this diagram located?

Look at the pic posted at the top, You can see the outline under the top button of the upper section. At least that's what I see!!

Well, I'll be. I saw that and visualized a design. Now that it is spelled out, I see what would be considered a pictograph of the inner gate.

 

I went by...top botton...top gate. Bottom button...bottom gate.

 

Thanks for pointing it out to a non-see'er.

Evidently the original owner couldn't read pictographs any better, than the rest of us.

I would agree with you, he definitely did not! 

 

I didn’t notice the outline of the inner gate until the first time I looked at picture of the rear of the truck I had taken to send to a friend. That’s when I had the “well I’ll be” moment. I had to walk outside to look at it just to confirm that I wasn’t seeing things. Sure enough, it had been right there in front of me for two weeks. 

 

There are a few things that are minor annoyances with the truck, but overall I really do love it! The last truck I had was a 1993 Chevy (which I had until 2013), so this is definitely a huge leap in pretty much every category. Been driving an SUV for the past 8 years, so it is really nice to be in a truck again. 

 

This forum has been a huge help in tracking down info and learning things “the easy way” instead of the hard way! Thanks again to all who responded, and thanks gemarsh for the link and part name. Now I just have to find a GMC service department around here who is as competent as you guys!

Its an easy DYI the black panels you see after lowering the step (inner two) snap off you will see two 10mm bolts remove, the handle snaps off top first. the cameras are held on by small torx screws.
