F Panel – GM (86543510)

This is a f panel from GM, factory part number 86543510. It is catalogued under Covers & Caps > Panels & Plates.

• Colour-matched and textured covers are rarely interchangeable with a plain black service part, even where the moulding is identical.
• Covers that seal a fluid opening normally carry a single-use gasket or O-ring, and reusing the old one is the usual reason a leak comes back.
• On panel and plate parts, check whether the original is held by clips, screws or both. The fasteners are often sold separately and are often what actually broke.

Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose. 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.

Match this against the part you are taking off rather than against a photo. If the number is unreadable, send us the VIN and we will confirm it. Leaves our US warehouse in one to two business days, and shipping is free over $59.
