Just so everyone is aware, those 12 bolts you undo from under the headliner, those come with a PRE-LOADED rubber washer on the bottom side of the nut to help seal it from moisture/water damage. The rubber washer is opaque/white and is literally paper thin. They usually get stuck or attached to the body when you remove them, so make sure they come off and put a new rubber washer or sealant on when you re-attach the spoiler nuts

Great video. I'm in the process of installing a 70cm ham radio antenna and the spoiler looks like a great place without drilling a hole in the main body of the roof. I have a 21 GMC denali 1500 serria with 6.2 so it should be the same. Thanks again for taking out the guess work.

Great video, well done. I found this while I was washing my truck. I was in the bed rinsing the top and leaves and pine needles kept coming out of the crack between the roof and the spoiler, so I figured I would remove the spoiler to clean it properly. How difficult could it be right? Sadly this poor design requires an absurd amount of work. sure hope the lamp never fails.

It's not a recall, just a technical service bulletin (TSB). I have the infamous rear window water leak on my brand new 2023 Sierra HD. My completely incompetent dealership service department fucked my truck up, and didn't even fix the leak. Just ordered the the high-tech seam seal, and eight 10mm bolts to fix it myself per the TSB. The incompetent techs at Buick GMC Hyundai of Goshen can't follow the simple instructions on the TSB.

But I still want more money for my yearly bonus to pay for the bidet to keep my sh*t shiny because unlike the normal blokes, I'm special rich and my sh*t shines..." Engineer Rep: I have an idea, lets make it next to impossible to modify anything on their truck they will have to come back and pay to us to do it.. And make sure any outside aftermarket parts they order don't work to ensure they come back and pay us for any. Hell, lets go for broke, if the want it FIXED, they have to come back and pay us. Lets name the strategy *F--k You, Pay me"
