Condition
ZR2 Or Trail Boss
Some customers may notice that the hood paint is damaged or chipped where the
edge of the center hood molding contacts the hood, as shown below.
Cause
Insu cient clearance between the center hood molding and hood.
Correction:
To correct this concern, perform the following repairs:
1. Remove the hood insulator blank (if equipped) and hood center molding (hood scoop) following SI Document
"Hood Center Molding Replacement (ZR2 or Trail Boss)". The hood center molding will be reused.
Additional tips for removing the hood molding: When removing the center hood molding, the 14 plastic push
retainers that hold it on will be damaged and need to be replaced with updated retainers. Caution - The hood is
made from aluminum and can be damaged easily using pry tools during hood molding removal. After removing
the 8 Center Hood Molding Nuts, from underneath the hood, cut the end features o of the exposed plastic push
retainers with a side cutter or ush cut pliers. Some hood molding push retainers can be accessed through the
holes in the hood structure and the end feature can be cut o with a sharp gasket scraper or putty knife. The end
features for all push retainers should be cut o except the 6 push retainers across the front edge of the hood
molding. The 6 remaining push retainers can be cut using the sharp gasket scraper/putty knife from the top side
of the hood by lifting the hood molding and working from the front or rear. If necessary, protect the hood surface
as required. Working from the front or rear edge of the hood molding, slide the sharp gasket scraper/putty knife
under the edge of the hood molding and cut o the 6 remaining push retainers. See example pictures below.
2. With the hood molding removed, remove all of the foam from the underside of the hood molding.
3. Re nish the hood as needed to correct the paint that has been damaged.
Note: An additional line may need to be added to the RO for hood re nish.
4. Obtain a roll of adhesive backed solid neoprene rubber tape that is at least 1/2" wide and 1/16" thick, but no
thicker. One known source for this tape is from Amazon, search "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VXRXBPW?
psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details". The tape comes in a package of 2 and one roll will complete one
truck with some left over.
5. Cut the tape into several 20 mm and 30-40 mm long pieces. You will be using a combination of each length of
tape to place on the hood around the perimeter where the hood center molding mounts, as shown below in the
following steps.
6. The hood has an indentation stamped into it that outlines the perimeter of the center hood molding. For
clarity, this hood indentation, has been marked on the hood with a black marker to better show the hood
indentation, as seen in the photo below. Using an alcohol wipe, clean the painted hood surface along the
perimeter where the center hood molding mounts, to remove any grease, oil, wax, and dirt. Make sure to
wipe the area from the hood indentation inboard approximately 15mm. There is no need to clean/wipe along the
back edge of the hood as no tape will be placed in that area.
7. Next, using a combination of the di erent length pieces of tape, place them on the hood with the sticky side
down against the paint following the hood indentation, as shown below. Place the tape with the outer tape edge
1 to 2mm from the edge of the hood indentation, as shown below. Along each side, stop the tape 10mm from
the rear edge of the hood.
8. Install 14 new center hood molding push retainers (GM P/N 11547581) onto the center hood molding.
9. Reinstall the center hood molding following the SI procedure "Hood Center Molding Replacement (ZR2 or Trail
Boss)".
10. After repairs are complete the center hood molding should have about .5 - 1 mm of clearance from the hood
surface all the way around, as shown.
