GMC Jimmy Envoy spoiler
 
I wanted to do a thorough and all encompassing thread on the elusive 1998-2000 GMC Jimmy Envoy rear spoiler...aka, the most highly desirable piece of plastic S-Series fanatics have been clamoring for.

I have found very little online on how it removes, parts numbers, replacement bulbs, etc.

I will post a bunch of pics of my recent finding, that will hopefully help others in the future.

Here's how they came, attached to the back hatch window.

Attached with double sided tape and 4 clips that hold it tight.

The light is neon, the reason for the high voltage stickers.

I will post more info tomorrow, of what part numbers are listed on the actual spoiler itself.

cool!

Awesome. What do the clips clip onto?

N. Jensen 01-17-2019 02:45 PM

They clip onto some plastic latches that are built onto the rear glass. I'll have to take some pics, but they look like the tailgate striker latch for the swing tire carrier.

Made in Canada, and technically an air deflector.

Here's the wiring connections. Notice, the wire from the light has a male connector, and the blazer wiring is a female.

Now here's the wiring for the normal led rear light... Notice, the light wire connection is a female, and the blazer wiring is a male.

Lmfao... figured... made in canada... found everywhere else......

DonL 01-17-2019 06:09 PM

Searched up the product number, aparently this is called a "High Mount Lamp". As always, discontinued by GM...

Considering the number of Blazers still on the road, you'd think that GM would do a better job with more spare parts. Mechanical parts are still available but it is the other stuff that can get hard to find. This could eventually spell trouble now that my truck is officially 20 y.o. (build date: 10-19-1998)

DonL 01-17-2019 07:28 PM

Just think GM... All this money you could be making on parts and accessories... anyone know where to get the molds? Lol...

N. Jensen 01-26-2019 02:52 PM

Here are some shots from the junk yard of the connecting parts on the rear window;

^Here is where the rubber grommit and wires go through.

DonL 01-26-2019 09:05 PM

I wonder if those clips are that important on reinstall... maybe the double sided tape should be good?

N. Jensen 01-26-2019 10:38 PM

I think double sided tape is all that's needed. Those clips are glued into the window, it appears.

christine_208 01-27-2019 12:48 AM

What will be the fate of these parts? Did you buy them for safe keeping?

N. Jensen 01-27-2019 03:35 PM

I, ultimately, am going to attach it to my blazer.
With temperatures dropping below zero, I plan on waiting til Spring before messing with it.
I figure if the neon won't work, I will just place (mod) the led light in it's place.

eshaw 03-04-2019 10:50 AM

I removed one once. That's the first and probably last time I'll ever mess with it. It was just plain miserable to remove I thought. Big PITA.

N. Jensen 03-05-2019 05:50 PM

Horrendous to deal with, agreed.
I will be replacing my entire back window with another that the spoiler is already attached to.
I figure if if doesn't work out, I will swap my old window back in, and put a different rear spoiler light I have on it.

eshaw 03-05-2019 10:24 PM

Yep, I have to agree. Replacing the window with the piece in place would be easier in the long run. So where you located in IA?

N. Jensen 03-05-2019 11:19 PM

Very west side, across the river from Omaha, in Council Bluffs. I've lived many places in the state, though..... Central, North mainly.
​​How about yourself?

eshaw 03-06-2019 08:47 AM

I used to live in the Shenandoah area, now I live about 60 miles south of Des Moines.

I consider that Missouri! Well, actually I consider anything south of highway 92 to be Missouri :icon_laugh:

I consider anything south of I-80 'the South'. :icon_teeth:

60 miles south puts you in the Centerville neighborhood...? Lake Rathbun is a nice area.

Yeah, I guess that really is kind of true....!;). And I agree, Rathbun is a super nice area!!

eshaw 03-08-2019 08:44 AM

Yep, the lakes are part of the reason I moved to Rathbun area. I have places at Rathbun and Albia.

pardon the profanity but it almost looks like you could get away with a Durango one but I don't know if that's part of the deck lid on a Durango or not...
