My 2006 Yukon denali xl doesn't have it. This is what it looks like

My 2006 seems to have it at the top but not the full width handle at the bottom....

That's the same handle in the pic I provided

Seems like a weird thing to make optional. A running production change I could understand, but as an option, I mean they both provide the same function (opening the glass). How much was the option?

From what I'm gathering, of you had an aluminum tailgate, you got the glass with no handle and if you had metal tailgate, you got one with the handle

View attachment 60155 View attachment 60156 My 2006 Denali xl has it and I hate it. I hate non painted plastic trim. It makes my tailgate look so cheap. I wanna swap it for the color matched escalade third light. Question on that. My tailgate is exactly the same as my neighbors 05 esky esv. Both of our tailgate glass has the exact same small middle handle and shape underneath that upper piece even though mine is plastic with small yukon light and hers has is the esky third light with bast color matched. If I can get ahold of an esky third light, do I still need to swap out the glass too? Or can my tailgate glass stay and just take off my black plastic and put esky third light right onTo my glass? Ironically pic of mine is not updated as I now have the esky end vents haha. Both were freshly detailed in each pic by me haha. I love being a professional detailer. View attachment 60155

How in the hell did you get the silver color so shiny? Mine doesn't shine like that pm me what you used lol. You would not need to swap the window if you get it from a vehicle that has the same type window as you (there are some eskys that do/don't) for a direct fitment. If it isn't a direct fit, then some guys on here use the 3m tape/adhesive. I didn't want to run into those problems, so I just bought the whole liftgate from an Esky lol

Good to know on the tailgate. Is rather not replace the glass of i don't have to do ill make sure I find one with the same glass as mine to pull the third light. Thanx for the info. I'll shoot,you a message about what i use. I run my,own business detailing cars and i started the business because I wanted nothing but the best products to keep my rides looking good. Lol. And I'm white happy with my products. The results are excellent.

That Denali above is friggin KLEEEEEN - very nice.

What about just having the black plastic at the top of the tailgate prepped & painted body color?
