I just completed this repair on my 2019 GMC Yukon XL. I was about ready to sell the vehicle to stop having to deal with the very poor remote range. Dealer quoted me $750 for an "attempted fix" and this $21 part did the trick. I went from 0-10' of range, to hundreds of feet. Everything works fantastically.
The one thing that took me some extra effort, since I didn't have much experience removing trim, was there weren't any good guides online on how to remove the trim. I didn't realize how much force was needed to pop the trim off, but once I finally was able to see the tabs more clearly, I made the strong effort to get it unsnapped.
The key was to get the piece off and out from under the longer headliner holding piece across the headliner. That allowed me to pull back the pillar piece enough to see how it was mounted around the speaker. I removed that, partially popped back the headliner and was able to get in and remove the old antenna with a socket extension.
Thanks again, this is a game changer.
