plastic panel repairs on dually silverado trucks by kiwisilverado
Jun 19, 2007 (2:31 am)

I have recently imported into New Zealand a Silverado 3500HD dually and have had the misfortune to scrape and broken a small piece of the fender which is of course plastic. I would like to repair this myself as it is not a major job and thought that I could stitch the broken bit by using a soldering iron but it seems the plastic is too hard and does not melt enough to stick together.Is there any specific glue for this job?
Once the broken bit is joined it would then be a simple matter to use some filler to produce a paintable finish.

2001 Tailgate Stuck by jkmeno

Can anyone tell me how to get my tailgate down? I think it is catching on the right side of my tailgate. Also, is there any aftermarket parts I can buy for my tailgate. This is the 3rd time this has happened and my warranty is expired so I am not taking it to the dealer again. Thanks.

Leak from cab roof antena by juno

I have a wet spot by the top of the passenger visor. The water is either coming in via the top of the windshield (unliklely I think because it would have to go up to come out by the visor) or a leak around one of the two black antena's on top of the cab.
 
One is directly over the leak.
 
Any experience with this problem would be helpfull

Did someone add aftermarket satellite radio? Maybe that antenna base needs to be sealed with silicone rubber or something.
 
My 08 GMC has single antenna for OnStar/XM (or if it does have 2, they are both in one black device).

2007 CHEVY SILVERADO Z-71 4X4 by bigbear5

I recently purchased 7 months ago off the lot. My trucks been running great since I purchased it. I just had the oil changed 5 days ago at 8400 miles at a reynolds tire shop, low and behold the next night my check engine light comes on the DIC screen.
I called the ONSTAR and they said it has something to do with the emissions, DUH!
Well I mad an appointment with a dealer and when Im about to take it, the ligh goes off, so I cancel my app. The next day it goes back on again, this time the auto tracking light flashes about ten times also. Ive never touched that button before so I have no idea what the hell is going on. Somone told check my gas cap, I did and it was secured. Anybody having simillar problems out there or now what the deal is? I'd appreciate it.

Tailgate Issue by krsterling23

I drive an 04 Z71 and recently my tailgate's handle has failed to release the tailgate. It is stuck in the up position and won't budge. I'm pretty sure it's simply a plastic retaining clip or something similar that has broken, but am not sure. Has anybody else had this issue? The dealership wants to charge $88 an hour to just look at it. Hopefully it's something simple that i can fix. Also am thinking of purchasing a Flashpaq or Cortex programmer, does anyone have any experience with either of these two products? Thanks.

I have a 2000 Sierra Z71 that has a tailgate latch that is stuck shut also.
In the past, it had been stuck "open" (where as the latch hook was in the way and had to be "pushed in" in order to close)...
I should have lubricated it before this happened, when I had the chance but I wasn't quick enough... Let me know if you find a simple fix to this problem...

I just bought a 1998 GMC Sierra, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I could buy the silver trim kit that goes over each wheel well and the body of the truck.
 
Thanks, Shawn
