Curious now what they do on police tahoes. Cops do not like electric-only locks. Police Impalas actually have an old-school keyed trunk lock on the decklid. Never looked at Tahoes that closely.

Geez, man, can't you read? The directions say to use a hole plug, not replace the panel.

If you check your rear hatch panel, you will see the designated "drill site" no fracking
