My Fascia skid plate is chrome plastic and is cracked.  I want to replace it but I am not sure how it is removed and put back on.  Do I need to remove the bumper?  It appears to be slid into the air dam with tabs.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

What the hell, did they just leave the bucket there in a parking lot like that? Crazy.

 

If its similar to a lot of GM products, there are probably a combo of clips and U nut (speed nut) connections. You should be able to get under there and remove some underbody plastic to see what is on the back side of it. Probably could see/feel all the connections and remove them, then pull the piece away. I would go ahead and order the new one and use that to see where all the connections are.

They did, I didn't realize it was there and could not see it when in the truck.  I pulled forward and it was right in front of my truck.  I was lucky because I was going really slow, all it did was crack that chrome plastic piece.  Could of been much worse.

I would hope the contractor is paying for that piece since they didn't put any cones around it.

You need to pull the fog lamps outs. Behind them is one bolt on each side that holds the corners of the skid plate in. Since the old one is garbage it’s easier to use side cutter pliers to cut the tabs that hold the rest of the plate on. Some you maybe able to pry on so the tab releases. Get the new one first for comparison. This is what I used after the dealer put the front plate on even thou I told them not to.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
