Plastic above brake light

[coppcarz]

SO i just received a 2009 2500 LT Suburban I purchased form a government auction. Somehow during transport from CA, the piece that goes between the left quarter window and the trunk lid is MIA. DO they steal these things? Transporter has no idea what happened to it. Anyone know the exact name for that part? Or part number?

Thanks

Not aware that they are a hot commodity on the black market but who knows.

@915_Tahoe should be able to help with a part number. Might also try and hit up a local junk yard and see if you can find one of them cheap.

That part shouldn't be too expensive at the yards--no one really wants/needs them. Maybe yours wasn't affixed correctly where it just might've fell off in transit.

Is that what they call an applique?

They're held on with 2 screws that can be accessed when liftgate is open, and also has tabs that go into slots under the window.

Many other used ones on ebay, from about $40-$70

You know how the guys are when they have to remove all the police equipment--careless. They probably just placed it back without the screws in.

 

[gooffeyguy]

Yeah, probably in a hurry.

I also think the bottom screw for the applique is covered by the brake light housing, so you have to remove that to get to it.

This one did not have any equipment. The screwed part is still attached to the truck. I tried prying off the other side, there is no way the wind pulled it off. Someone would literally have to pry the cover off.
