2015 Tahoe LTZ - cowl cover/rubber seal replacement

[2015LTZ]

Hi everyone, this is my first ever post here.
I have a 2015 Tahoe LTZ. 90k miles.
I had a question if anyone ever tried replacing the cowl cover or its rubber seal?
Not sure if I am explaining it correctly but its the part where the wipers are fitted and the seal between this part and the windshield. There is no issue yet, just the rubber is a bit worn off and breaking off in places.

Welcome. I have not, but iust wanted to add that I had a previous 25 year old car that did this but I simply used a touch of marine silicone caulk/adhesive. But I understand that we want to keep the rig nice looking, mine was getting to be too old for that. It was an old Volvo too, parts were terrible to get and pay $ for.

I cannot personally help you with your question; however, other members on this Forum that are much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Instead of the silicone solution, I am trying to figure out if anyone here ever replaced the part, including the rubber seal.

Maybe stop by a GM dealers body shop or service department. I would replace with new GM part and do the work myself. Nice looking rig and I would want to keep it that way. Had mine replaced under warranty as the Florida sun distorted it.

Thank you. I'll stop by a GM dealer. Mine is also sun-related deterioration.
Any chance I could get the part number online? Or maybe check on Amazon etc?

I found this on youtube. Appears to be a repeating issue for these trucks.

Part # 23454604

Post the last 8 digits of your VIN and hopefully @915_Tahoe will chime in with a part number.

shouldn't be hard to do you just need the little tool to pull the wiper arms off without destroying them

The 16 I bought my wife has a little warping it's been a California car, my 18 Silverado has no warping but seems to be a slightly different design and is a z71 so the cowl sits up higher otherwise it almost looks like it would fit, not sure if the Tahoe/burb z71 hoods are different or not from a lt/LS might be worth digging in to or see if there is a newer revision. It does look like it could be glued down but would take a little work

Ask @swathdiver about his solution.

The long terms are simply a function of the short terms. Think of the short terms as what your truck is doing as an immediate response the the data, and the long terms as a large scale compensation. Watch the short terms at idle. What do they do when you hit the gas?

While we’re talking cowl and wipers, do any of ya know what the part number is for the cover for the wiper arm nut?

the left side was missing when I bought it.

No idea but I bet any local auto wrecker will have one
