Tahoe Running Boards

[Reyetwinger]

Has anyone removed the factory running boards on a 2015+ LS? If so are there holes left on the rocker? I see in this picture these square guides and I am wondering what people do to cover the holes they go into to stop water from getting up in there and rusting the rockers. Thanks.

I believe from the factory there would be a rubber plug. Not sure if this part is available but your dealer might know.

Any plug will do but def spray some body cavity wax or something in side then plug them up

Thanks. I figured they would need to be plugged it's just that they are square. I guess a round plug could jam in there and hold.

The factory plugs are square. Measure yours and do a quick search. Might also check with any aftermarket step dealers in your area. Bet they’d love to get rid of them.

All I'm seeing online are round ones. Anyone have part numbers, or a link to an assortment of sizes kit? I have a 67 Impala and with the assembly manual life is easy, ever single part on the vehicle is detailed down to the most insignificant clip...with part numbers. Today, not so much. Thanks.

Here’s a link to Steele’s plug kits. A few of them have square plugs so I’d guess they carry them alone. Might do better calling them.

I just took mine off to replace with nerf bars and im not seeing any holes left that need plugged. Underside picture on front.
