F Panel – GM (42950434)

This is a f panel from GM, factory part number 42950434. It is catalogued under Covers & Caps > Panels & Plates.

• Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose.
• Torque figures belong to the fastener and the joint rather than to the part, so the factory procedure is the reference rather than a general rule.
• A part that fails early usually points at an installation fault or a worn component nearby rather than at the part itself.

Keeping the old part until the new one is fitted and checked is the simplest way to avoid a second order. Plastic covers harden with heat cycles, so a cover that has been on the vehicle for a decade often cracks at the screw bosses when refitted.

Worth checking against the original before fitting. If you cannot read the number, we can match it from the VIN. In stock and sent from the US in one to two business days, free delivery over $59.
