That is strange. Time for a warranty replacement. Might see if the dealer will work with you on a Z06 grille if you like that style.

At 1 week old, I replaced my 2015 "stock" grill with a Z06 grill. I have the stock grill in the house in perfect condition...you want it? I'll send it to ya.

Yes, that is a pop-out section where the tow hook would go.

OP, just get your dealer to get you the small part.

Yes, mine popped out and went missing too at sometime. The part number is 22790942 and you can get for $41.26 GMWholeSaleDirect.com or $38.34 at gmpartsdirect.com.

Damn, that's why I dig this forum. If you can get past all the noise (and for some reason this place seems to have more than it's fair share) and the "haters" (ditto), you get to great threads like this one.

Q: Hey I have a problem, anybody seen this?

A: Yep, here's an explanation of the issue, and by the way, here's the part number, and here's 2 places you can get it.

Outstanding...

How much was the Z06 grill?
