Problem w/ "Spoiler" over top of rear gate??? by ticadoo

Wasn't sure where to post this so..here it is. I have a "spoiler" over top of my rear gate on my 2003 Trailblazer, EXT. One morning after it had snowed (melted ice/snow must have re-frozen)..I forced the gate up to load trash..heard a "crunching noise" and now when I am going down the road and wind blows a certain way or I get up to 60 mph, it makes the worst noise..can't even here another person talk. What do I look at to fix? How do I fix???

When you say "spoiler" do you mean the plastic trim piece on top of the gate, the piece with the third stoplight built in?

Yes, that is it! I had somebody stop me this morning and tell me they thought it was going to come off...looks like maybe bolt is broke?

I read somewhere else that there was a technical service bulletin for the same problem that I'm having with my rear gate/plastic piece. Anybody know the number? Haven't been able to find it.

I found a TSB # 060866011. Summary, "rear liftgate binds, improper fit, may be caused by broken welds or cracks formed around the two inner welds." NHTSA Campaign ID 10020523. Anybody have any luck with this?

Early on people posted about how this could get broken easy if ice/snow built up around and under it and then became trapped when you open or close it. I don't know of any way to easily repair it other than replacing it (if it's broken), which is an expensive option if I remember right.

Thanks, but not good news. Local Chevy dealer closed; now must drive an hour, one way. I'm sure too expensive for me to fix anyway. What will happen if it comes off? (Sorry, I am a single mother)

I have an 05 Chevy Trailblazer, I enjoy my truck, but since she has hit 75,000 miles she stalls at every stop. There are freak times that she happens to stay on, but very few and far an in between. I've taken her to my mechanic who put in a new clutch fan, and she still stalls, so he recommended I take her to a chevy dealer. They put in an 02 censor, 350. later and she is still stalling. My throttle body looks great, but I had it cleaned any way, did the whole sea foam deal. Still stalling. The Chevy dealers told me to just keep driving her untill she won't start again. That's not exactly the answer I was looking for. lol. The crazy thing is, all diognostics come back clear, no check engine lights or anything. I am running out of idea's. Does anyone else have any idea's?

Wild guess - perhaps your alternator isn't generating enough electricity at low rpm?

I also have an 05 TB and I had the head redone due to burnt exhaust valves and mine didn't even have 50,000 miles on it. Cheap chinese parts. I was getting misfire on cylinder one. After the head was redone. The TB ran fine until you drove it for about 20 miles then after every stop you made it would die. I had to two foot drive to keep it running. Well come to find out the computer needed to be reprogrammed by the dealership and it still works but, when I drive it for a while and shut it off I have to push the gas pedal to start the TB. I still don't know where the problem is with the TB, but at least it runs.
 
You may just need to take it to the dealership and have them look at it since it could be a programming problem.
