GeorgeB’s 2013 Suburban LTZ “Fin”

I may be worrying needlessly but, other than the part number difference the new and old dashes from my truck seem identical in every way.

Oh well; it’s installed now…

I wouldn't worry about it. It should last another 7-8 years. By then, you'll probably have moved on. It's in, it's done. No more rattles

That’s a helluva trim tool kit.

It is but many of the tools are pretty blunt and hard to insert in tight panel gaps. The stuff sands well so modifications to some have already occurred.

@iamdub
Your part is 23224747 but mine is 23224742 so we don’t have the same part.

How da hell?! I copied/pasted the number from that link you posted and I swear that "2" was a "7".

I think I see where you picked up that number. I quoted James and he had that number in his comment.

I think figured it out. Google automatically completes it to "...4747", probably since that's what I had been searching for and I must've breezed right through it.

*Sigh*
Old age is a mofo. I should probably look into sending myself to the glue factory.

Or maybe this is what happened. Still, if my vision is getting this bad, I might should not be behind the wheel. And if I can't drive any more, then I don't wanna live on this planet any more.

@915_Tahoe
Can you help explain the conundrum we have going on here?

Where should I start reading from, lol

I revisited my dash install today. I recalled a comment about the brackets under the airbag and then remembered that one didn’t seem quite right. I pulled the airbag again and took out the two 10mm mounting bolts to find the right side bracket lifted up a lot. Thats what I recalled and I believe it creates stress on the other side of the left bracket where the first crack always starts. As I pushed down on that bracket I believe I could see the flex in the dash where the other crack was in the old dash. I found a spacer that fit perfectly and reassembled everything. The slots in the airbag mount still allowed for assembly too. Gad I came back to that!
