    Bent Luggage Rack

    I recently bent my back luggage rack (the piece that goes across the top of the vehicle over the rear tires). Has any one else had this happen or know how to fix the rack? I tried forcing the rack back into place, but it seems to be pretty sturdy metal that won’t budge. I found a replacement...

    Driver Side Mirror Replacement - Just the Mirror

    That’s what’s so frustrating - how does no one make one with the auto dim feature? Is it possible to order one directly from GM?

    Driver Side Mirror Replacement - Just the Mirror

    Thanks, I tried that site, but no auto-dimming feature. Pretty much every site I've found doesn't have the auto-dimming feature...

    Driver Side Mirror Replacement - Just the Mirror

    I've got a crack in my driver side mirror and am looking for a replacement. Has anyone done this before? I just need to replace the mirror - not the entire unit. I'd like to keep the turn signal and dimming functionalities if possible. Thanks!

    Side mirror replacement or fix

    I've researched this for a while, and it seems like it's a doable fix, but very pricey. The mirrors I've found are around $700-$800 since you have to replace the entire unit. Wasn't worth it for me in the end.

    Dash Button No Longer Works

    Ok thanks. That’s good to know. Is it just the one piece of trim around the buttons that needs to come out? I always feel like I’m going to snap the trim in half when removing it...

    Dash Button No Longer Works

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone have experience replacing the switch mentioned above? Is it as simple as replacing the buttons, or are there more electronic fixes required? Thanks!

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    Yeah, no issue with locking or unlocking. The door moves fine when I manually open or close it - no grinding gears or need for excessive force. The latch is what's making all the noise, but it's the same noise that the door has always made even when it was fully functional. It may be the lift...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    In the video you posted, did the guy fix the auto open/close feature? It looks like his door wouldn't open at all, so he fixed that. But at the end of the video, it looks like he's opening the door manually, and not using the auto feature.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    When I try to open the door from the door handle or using the key fob, I hear motors start to run, but the door doesn't open. I can then lift the door manually to fully open it. It's like it starts to try to open, but then just stops. From there I can pull it open.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    Yeah, I can unlock the gate without any issues, but I still have to pull it up and push it down manually. The gate itself won’t move on its own.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    I think I'm going to try replacing the latch unit. When I try to open or close the gate, I can hear motors running where the latch is, however the gate doesn't lift or lower. It's as if the latch that closes the gate never moves like it should so the gate can freely open or close.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    What did you replace on the latch? The whole unit? I’ve also noticed that the latch doesn’t seem to move when opening or closing. The little piece that should move when opening, stays put, and when the gate is open, I can manually move the latch myself.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    I don't think it's the struts, because the gate stays open on its own when I manually open it. It seems like it's the metal bar on the driver side (not the strut) that isn't "pushing" the gate up or down. I can hear the motor running, so I don't think it's an electrical issue. I also can here...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    thanks for the video. I pulled back the rubber piece like you recommended, and I can see the arm trying to move, but it just doesn’t. It seems like the gears aren’t engaged back there... It definitely seems like it's that gear that you pointed out. I can see the gear try to turn, but it never...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    Thanks for the info. I'll try to check that out. Noob question here... where is the lift bar I should look for? I'm guessing I'll need to remove the interior cover on the gate...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    I can manually open and close the gate. The gate also stays open when I manually open it, so it's not the hydraulic arms. When the gate is open and I try to close it automatically, the same thing happens as when I try to open it: I hear noises like the motor is trying to close the gate, but it...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    I don’t think so, because when I try to open the tailgate, I can hear the motor trying to open, so it seems that the tailgate is still getting power. It just cannot unlatch from the locking mechanism for some reason.

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    Went ahead and ordered a new latch Actuator (“ Standard Ignition DLA1017 Power Door Lock Actuator”) off Amazon. I’ll give it a shot to see if I can install the new one in my own. Anyone ever tried this? Seems like the hardest part will be removing the door frame on the interior tailgate.

    2007 Tahoe Side Mirror Not Folding

    The passenger side mirror no longer folds electronically on my 2007 Tahoe. The driver side mirror folds correctly, but the passenger side mirror only makes noises as if it’s trying to fold, but it never does. Has anyone tried replacing these or fixing the motor? I’ve heard it can be quite...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    No, it doesn't open or close when I press any buttons. You can hear it start to open, however it never fully unlatches. I was hoping it'd be an easier fix than replacing the the motor or gearbox, but it sounds like that may be the only fix...

    2007 Tahoe Tailgate - Auto Lift Not Working

    The auto-lift feature on my 2007 Tahoe's tailgate is not working. I can manually open the tailgate, and it stays open, so it's not the hydraulics, but the auto-lift function doesn't work. I've checked the switch near the sunroof, and it is in the on position. When I try to open the tailgate...

    Dash Button No Longer Works

    Hello. I have a 2007 Tahoe, and the dash button that controls the trip, fuel economy, etc. no longer works (it's just the top button to the right of the steering wheel that controls what's displayed under the odometer). The other three buttons underneath the top one work just fine, but for some...

    Back Lift Gate Motor Not Working

    Thanks for the info and the video! It looks like I may have the same problem that the guy had in the video. I guess I'll probably have to order a new latch so the gate can open on its own.

    Back Lift Gate Motor Not Working

    For added context, the hydraulics on the gate were recently replaced. Before I replaced those it was very difficult to open the gate (very heavy), and it wouldn't stay open on it's own. After the hydraulics were replaced, everything worked fine for a few weeks, then all the sudden the gate...
