bobwhite Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 The little piece that covers the lock assembly to protect the lock from weather either fell off or was vandalized. The dealer said I had to replace the whole assembly. They didn't seem interested in the job, so I ordered the part from gmparts.com. When it arrived, it didn't have the cover. Looking at the parts fiche, I can't seem to find the piece. Anybody know what I need to order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 Could be rong but it looks like you need a ESCUTCHEON, R/Cmpt lid lock cyl grp 12.249, pn 20702117. Might write Jim Finn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 It is very difficult to locate small oddball parts like this. You will have to remove the tail lamp housing and bumper cover to gain access to the screw that holds the lock cylinder. The cylinder can be taken to a locksmith where they can replace the black shutter assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wally888 Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Mine fell off several years ago. The local Dealer parts man gave me several chrome rings and I managed to make one fit. Think the original was black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol' yeller Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 Mine fell apart some time ago. I went to my Buick dealer and he sold me the shutter several small springs and the black cap that snaps on over it all to hold it together. I didn't get parts numbers and I don't think he bothered to look it up. A word of caution, remove the lock to install the parts as those little springs tend to let fly.
