I got home from a motorcycle ride yesterday and noticed my hitch cover is now missing from the Denali. I'm suspicious that someone helped me lose it. Anyway, are you guys finding/buying these anywhere besides the dealer?

I have been looking at these on ebay, also they have them already painted in lots of colors.

So I have a 2007 Denali and mine went missing also! Been thinking about absconding with someone elses because I cant find 1 either?

Any luck?

THey tend to fall off if not properly put back on, thats proabbly what is happening as to not many people will steal and sell them because they're not worth much!

I was wondering that too. I have one on my Tahoe and am afraid that someone may take it.

Guys do these covers screw on or do they just snap on and off? I have been looking at these and i am not sure how they install..

They have a couple plastic quarter turn fasteners in the bottom, and tabs in the top that slide into the bumper cover. Pretty cheasy. I check mine often though.

The best I have found is at GM Parts Direct online for ~$100. The Denali's come with them, and they are shaped differently than the tons you find on eBay for the vehicles that didn't come with them. I saw a correct style one on there yesterday that was cheap, but the wrong color. It would probably cost as much to have it painted as to order a new one.

Yeah GMPD website is pretty good with the price, also try inserting the GMPD part number over a www.newgmparts.com to see if the price is better!

I found the painted ones on GM Parts Direct for $61.87. Does anyone know if they come with the plastic fastners or do you purchase them seperate?

I got one off eBay for $50, then had to pay $75 to get it painted. I'm going to drill a couple small holes in the bottom by the factory fasteners and either use small nuts and bolts, or zip ties to make sure it doesn't fall off again.

got mine replaced for free under warranty. Apparently GM has "fixed" the problem and enlarged the tabs on the new one I got

Do you have a number for the fix or anything that would help me? I called the dealer and they don't know what I'm talking about. I'm tired of mine coming loose...

They have the new one with extra tabs to make sure it doesn't flip down/fall off the vehicle.

Attached to this post is a link of my invoice where I complained that my hitch cover was loose and they replaced it under WARRANTY. The newer version of the hitch cover fixed the problem as you'll be able to see that the tabs which lock it in are longer and different than the one's we currently have. Good Luck!! I have not had one issue since it was replaced.
