Black Chrome Peeling

I have a 2024 Sierra AT4 and noticed the the black chrome was peeling. I’ve had it since Dec 2023 and have 9200 miles. It also looks like water spots or bubbles that I can’t remove. I’ll be taking mine to the dealership tomorrow.

No peeling on mine but i do have 'waterspots' that dont want to come out. Let us know what tge dealer says
Sorry for the delay. The dealer closest to my house was not much help. I contacted the dealer where I purchased it and they are going to get it fixed. I’ll update again after it’s done. I’m taking it to them Monday.
 

Dealer ordered new grill today. I asked to just put a black grill in because the new ones seem to be peeling also. GM said as long as it’s warranty you have to put the AT4 specific black chrome back in.

I’m on grill #2….First time they replaced the fog light bezels as well. I requested a black grill as well on the second one. Got the same answer. It will peel again….
I am going to just mask it off and use plasti-dip when it fails again. Was told that this would be the last grill they replace. (40k on the odometer)
 

Does anyone make an overlay for the grille? Need something to cover up the ugly peeling black chrome. Not looking forward to tearing the whole front end apart to replace the grille.
 

Just noticed some small cracks/peeling on the black chrome grille on my 23 AT4X. I have a really bad rattle in the dash, right where the HUD projector is, is sounds like a screw came loose and is rattling around in a plastic bowl area somewhere inside. Total guess on what/why it is rattling.

Still under warranty for a few thousand miles, going to make a warranty appt at my dealership to address the black chrome peeling and the bad and very annoying rattle in the dash under the HUD camera area. Hopefully they can fix both.

BTW, last time I had my truck in to the dealership, I told them NOT to drop my tailgate and upper tailgate (they had to replace the video cord to the camera mirror), and to do that they needed to drop my tailgate and roll up my BAK revolver bed cover. Sure enough, the tech dropped not only the tailgate, but also the upper tail gate and dented my tailgate right above where the buttons are. I always have a hitch (it is a drop hitch but the upper tail gate will still hit it), and now I have a small dent in the top of the tail gate. I had the upper tailgate black wrapped, and am hoping if I get it re-wrapped it will hide the damage mostly. It did scratch into the black upper tail gate wrapping. So hoping they take care of this also. To fix or replace that upper tail gate would be pricey to do on my own.

If the dealership dented your tailgate, the dealership owes you another tailgate or to fix the damage they caused. No questions asked. I would have thrown a fit.

For sure. This was a dealership in Nebraska, as I was working there out of state at the time (late April) when they did the damage. That dealership said they would fix it, but never did. I live in Montana, where I am now, and am trying to get the Nebraska dealership to either pay me for the damage, or get the MT dealership to fix or replace the upper tailgate. The dent is very minor, but ruined/scratched through the black wrap, plus I can see metal in the scratches so it got through the paint also. I could do it myself - fill and sand, then have it wrapped again. Got a buddy that did the wrap, who gave me a great deal (we swap work at times), so that wrap my cost me a hundred at most.

I also now have a cracked windshield, which ironically happened the morning I took my truck to the Nebraska dealership in April. We had a bad ice storm that morning, and there was a rock pit very low on the windshield I wasn't aware was there (was very low), and as the defrost heated the windshield melting off the ice, the windshield cracked right in front of my eyes, they wandered the whole way across and up in a minute or two span. These windshields are quite expensive to replace, and I told the dealership that dented my tailgate I would swap fixing the tail gate if they got me a new windshield.

Then I was so busy working in Nebraska (was building two houses for my parents at the time), that I never got back to the dealership for them to fix the tail gate. I had already been in Nebraska for two months, and just ran out of time to get to that dealership, and drove back to Montana. I expect it will be harder to get things taken care of on the tail gate now that 5.5 months have passed since it happened, and I won't be back in Nebraska any time soon.

Which reminds me, I need to call that Nebraska dealerships service manager, as he promised me they would take care of it one way or the other.
 

I've been reading that a lot of shops won't/can't ppf the grill
My dealership puts it on automatically when selling their vehicles cash grab yes but always negotiable. I should have got it done on my wife’s 21 Yukon when we first got it. Instead had it ceramic coated which helps a bit but obviously doesn’t prevent rock chips. The satin chrome on the wife’s Yukon very easily chips off.
 

I have the same thing happening on my 22, both the grill and the foglight bezels. It "appears" that the black chrome pieces snap on to the actual grill. I may try and see if they can be easily be removed and resprayed with something like this.

Got the new grill put in yesterday. Looks good but it appears to have a slightly different tint to it. Idk, may it it’s just me. Probably going to just have it vinyl wrapped black.
