2016 Yukon - Trunk compartment - Black bag?

[Dbowl]

Hello TYF,

Bit of an odd question here...

I bought the wife a 2016 Yukon last week. Purchased from an individual. After completing the paperwork we walk out to make sure he has all his stuff out of the truck. He lifts the compartment and there is a black bag. He says "thats for changing the spare" and closes the lid.

The next day I take the truck for a full detail. The people who detailed lost/stole/threw away my headphones that were in the car. Then I looked in that compartment and that black bag was gone too.

So the question is - what was in it? Is that black bag standard? is it something I need to change the tire if I have a flat? or is it in fact something the previous owner put in??

Do your wheels have locks on one of the studs on each wheel? Could have been the tool to take off that lock.

Roughly what shape and size was the black bag? My cargo net has a black bag that is integrated with it and can zip all the next parts inside of it. It is long and skinny.

 

[Dbowl]

I don't think the wheels have any special lock. I had tires put on the day I bought it w/o a request for a key.

The bag wasn't too large as it fit in that compartment. My guess it was 10" long and 6" wide.

That was probably the bag that holds the cargo net.

ohhh maybe?


Is that bag a draw string or zipper?

Zipper

 

[noob]

Zipper at the top I believe. Let me check to see if mine is in the trunk

The bag in my trunk was folded in 3, it’s the width of the car but folded it’s about the dimensions you listed. Was this it?

 

[Dbowl]

I think so yes! it had strings on the side and very well could have had a zipper. thank you!!!!

I guess my next question should be:

Is everything to change a spare inside the cubbys in the back?

Why don't you go back and complain to the mgr/owner. Seems to be theft rather then being tossed out. Who throws out headphones?

Oh I did, I have a brand new set of head phones and 10 free washes.
I just didn't know what was in that bag. I was working on the information provided by the previous owner that it was for the spare. I wanted to ask here what was in it so I had what I needed if I had a flat.

It might tell you in the manual what was included in that bag.

The owners manual will show you how to change your tire and where and what tools are needed which are located in your vehicle.

Or you can get it in your smart phone via the Chevy/Onstar app

I cringe every time I hear a story of how someone had something taken from their vehicle during a detail.... really makes me glad I’m a professional detailer and that my truck never goes through that. Lol. If I need to move an owner’s belongings I stack it all in one place and I always tell the owner, hey I moved this or that and it’s in the back.

That bag is the cargo net. The net self-contains inside of the bag. When you install the net, the solid nylon material that makes up the "bag" turns into the bottom of the cargo net. The net material is inside.

Seems odd that a detailer would throw that away though. You can get another one for $45 right here on Amazon.

It could have been the bag that's in the driver's side compartment in the back. That's the rod that you use to lower the spare from the back. Look inside that compartment. If you don't see a long, black bag mounted inside - then that's what it was.

If you need to replace it, be aware that it's a Yukon-only part. A tow truck guy had one from a Suburban, and it was too short: He needed to pull the Yukon one out of my compartment.
