Rear camera still works, but at least one sensor is damaged so I get a “Service Rear Park Assist” message every time I come to a stop. It also warns that it won’t beep on the backup camera display so I can back into stuff, and the little display in the DIC that shows the sensors that are near stuff doesn’t show so the front sensors are useless right now, too. Also whatever sensor lets you wave a foot under the bumper to open the lift gate isn’t working. I asked the body shop guy and he said they replace every sensor in the area in an accident like this, so he’d do everything on the back. We’ll see...shop can’t even take it in until 1/28, so it will be a while.

sure sorry to hear of all your aggravation on this, BUT for me, watching from the side line it is a good lesson as to what to watch for should something like this happen to me when my new Tahoe gets here......... I wish you the best of luck in the repair, and sincerely hope they do it right, are you taking it to a GM Dealer body shop or a local one?
It isn't too bad, really. I mean it definitely sucks, but at the end of it all it's just a truck. Nobody was hurt, I haven't had to invest a huge amount of time, etc. It'll be fixed. Just sad timing - I only got to show it to a couple of people before it got banged up.
Taking it to the best shop (to my knowledge) in town, hence the long delay for them to get to it. Not sure our local GM dealer even has a body shop, actually - they probably use the same one I'm using. I have a good friend that sprays and does final inspections there so I know he'll make sure it's done well before it's given back to me.

WOW ! She looks gorgeous !!! I hope the cops went good for ALL of the costs, and I know probably an insurance claim, but it wouldn't be fair if you had to pay the deductible either.... it sure looks good, they did a great job...... did they just 'polish' 
it out or did they replace the back door and bumper?

Nothing out of pocket from me, all replaced with genuine GM parts. I'm much more pleased than I thought I would be.

This is rarely the response after such damage. You're very fortunate to feel this way about it.
Did they square up with you just as well on the diminished value check? Just curious what's next for your Denali- Lift? Drop? Wheels? (I know of a great home for your stock ones

Diminished value is in the works, not sure when we'll be finished with that. I'll be doing a lot of fighting there because I know the offer will be low.
I have a 2" rear drop in the garage to install either this weekend or next, not sure what comes after that.
