    Creak in rear view mirror housing solved

    You have to remove the front "panel" (the one shown with foam pads that I added); I used a spring removal tool ( basically a hook with a "t" handle) pull from the top toward the rear of the truck, then lift up and remove. The main cover just pulls straight down, and has 4 clip attachment points.

    Creak in rear view mirror housing solved

    Sticking, then pulling away. I made a shim out of cardboard and tucked it in; applied a small amount of glue so it would not slip out, the reassembled a perfectly quiet cover. So if anyone has a creak from that area, that could be the cause.

    Creak in rear view mirror housing solved

    My 2019 Longhorn has been remarkably quiet, and free from creaks, ticks, wind noise, etc., even when the temperature drops into the 20's. A few weeks ago while driving on a less than perfect road, I started hearing a faint creak/tick coming from the top center of the windshield. I noticed it...

    I couldn't agree more!! I cringed when he ripped the base out of the mounting hole; mind-blowing!!

    Anyone use protectant on the sport hood plastic inserts?

    I used this on a cladded Avalanche I had years ago with EXCELLENT long lasting results. This was the GM TSB fix for the faded plastic that plagued that model. It goes on super easy, looks awesome, and has incredible longevity. This Spring, when I detail my Longhorn, I will use it on the Rambox...

    Did a little undercoating today...anyone else have advice?

    I used to undercoat all my vehicles, as it does protect against rocks chipping the paint underneath. However, after looking at everything under the truck, I decided to forgo it this time, as the retractable running boards and Weathertech mud guards should provide adequate protection. I will...

    What are you guys using on the plastic trim?

    TS-1 I used this on a cladded Avalanche I had years ago. I think I was the only Avalanche owner without faded cladding. It was the TSB fix by GM for faded plastic. It really works well, super EASY to apply, and looked new when I traded it in 7 years later.

    Did my dealership pull a fast one on me?

    My 2019 Longhorn has plain scuff plates; no logo.

    Poor seat quality

    I would look into purchasing the cover from one of the online dealerships to save some $$, then, if your comfortable with replacing it yourself, do that; or take it to the upholstery shop and have them do it. It may work out to be less expensive that way.

    Interior creaks, rattles and ticks

    Yes, they say a Monday or Friday build could have issues, thankfully mine is a Wednesday build. I drove it Friday, and the outside temperature was 30 degrees, but felt like 15; not one tick or squeak! Maybe pressing on the right side A pillar top adjusted the position enough to stop the...

    Interior creaks, rattles and ticks

    So I applied some silicone spray along the seams between the mirror panel and cover hoping to quiet the tick down. Little did I know that the silicone spray had acetone in it which damaged the plastic in terms of color. Thankfully nothing else was affected and I thought ahead and put a cloth...

    Interior creaks, rattles and ticks

    I'm blessed to have a super quiet Longhorn, free from wind noise, rattles, squeakes etc.; maybe due to being a Wednesday build? Lol Anyway, I have an intermittent faint "tick" coming from the upper windshield area, moreso when it's cold out and the roads are not smooth. I figured it might be...

    Console, floor Bins, Glovebox Organizers

    Thanks for the reply. Looks like I may be adding them soon. I purchased the Rambox dividers a few months ago, and they really help with organization; I think the interior will benefit from organization also.

    Console, floor Bins, Glovebox Organizers

    How is the quality of the foam in terms of durability?

    Console, floor Bins, Glovebox Organizers

    I came across this while browsing through eBay, and thought it may be something worthwhile in terms of organizing the vast storage compartments in our trucks. Has anyone seen, and or purchased this, and if so, are they any good?

    Screen protector options

    I have a few very fine scratches on my 12" screen that can only be noticed if the sunlight is at a certain angle. My question is; would a screen protector hide theses fine scratches, or make them more noticable?

    Scratches on piano black 12" surround

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, piano black is not the best choice for automotive trim. Years back, when I was restoring cars, I polished many dash / console inserts on the Monte Carlo SS's; these parts were gloss black and could easily be polished, as there were no buttons, knobs and crevices to...

    Scratches on piano black 12" surround

    HeliPilot, is yours as scratched up as mine? It's very discouraging to think that there all like this; especially at the price point we're paying for these vehicles.

    Scratches on piano black 12" surround

    Goatmann, did you shine a light on it when you looked? Mine looks almost perfect in the daylight, although when the sun shines on it at a certain angle, faint scratches are noticeable. Ordering and examining the 12" center stack before purchase from a dealer is definitely the way to go; however...
