Protector – GM (12355000)

Factory part number 12355000: a protector supplied by GM. It is catalogued under Accessories & Mounts > Protectors & Guards.

• Superseded numbers are common, and where a factory number has been replaced the current part is usually dimensionally identical to the original.
• 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.

Inserts that locate in a moulded recess rely on the original clip geometry, and a worn recess will let even a new insert move. Check the option code as well as the model year, since accessory trim often changes within a single production year.

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. Ships from our US warehouse in one to two business days, free over $59.
