Neither the rubber cover nor the charger are included. In fact, it is better than the original switch because it is made of one solid piece.
I found it to be an ideal fit for my 2008 model. They have the same body style as far as I am aware- In part and in its entirety
Although I do not know what to do with 2012, I think it would work
It is the hatch release switch for a GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe, or Chevrolet On a Corvette I'm not certain if it will work.

The fit and functionality of the product are excellent. I can't think of a single suggestion I can offer to the installer. Take a pair of needlenose pliers with you. You'll still need to unplug the electrical connector from the top of the old one, then plug in the new one when you get the old button housing out of the vehicle. The needle nose will help you hold the plug steady so that you can slip the new one onto the old one. Since the hole in the power plug is too small, it is difficult to pull it clear of the vehicle, so you have to perform the change at the very end of its reach. After I removed the old one, removed the hook, hooked up the new one, and snapped it back into place, it took me only 45 seconds to do. I'm super easy to understand.
At a GMC dealer, however, this switch will cost you $45 and its installation will cost you $85 more. The replacement part only costs $20 and can be installed yourself in 15 to 20 minutes if you review the YouTube videos. The original switch has a rubber seal that wears out over time so when the button falls out and the switch stops working, you will have to replace it. Take a look at the videos first and decide if you're up for the challenge. The following tip I found useful make a small hook to hold the wiring harness that secures the switch so you won't have to tug at it after you remove the old one.
This replacement button fixed the problem. First of all, it is not an easy replacement, unless you can take apart the assembly from the truck without taking out the button. Without disassembling the entire hatch, I did not attempt to remove the button from the outside, but it might be possible as long as you do not pull too hard on the wire or lose it inside. If I hadn't been familiar with the process, I might have felt able to pop out the old button. I have taken apart the hatch before to fix the camera, so I was familiar with it. In the event that you decide you want to disassemble the hatch and remove the panel in order to replace the button, there is a 99% chance that There was a problem with their choice of locators If you tie on the bolts holding the panel on, when you try to take it off, you break the plastic in the groves where the bolts enter. In addition, there are two pesky plastic push pins that need to be removed on each end of the panel, which is easy to do using a nut driver (I think I used a 7mm nutdriver to do it). A hidden nut is also located behind the rear window wiper, so you have to remove it or swing it so that you can access the nut. Possibly even if the panel is broken and the bolts come out, you will have to epoxy them back in. The button can simply be removed from the panel by disconnecting the wire connector and then squeezing the clips to pop it off. Once the panel is removed, then, the button can be easily removed. As you assemble the hatch, make sure that the grommet is pushed into the hole of the hatch so that it won't Having now had a functioning button for a few days, I now have a button that works.
In spite of the fact that my old button still worked, the rubber covering had rotted away and I was holding it in place with tape. The decision was finally made to replace the product. This OEM one I selected as a precaution because I had trouble finding one cheaper. It was fairly easy to remove and replace, but I recommend watching a YouTube video first before you remove the old part to get a better idea of where the tabs are located. Once the old button is removed, pry it out (you do not want to damage Take needle nose pliers to the connector, disconnect the old cable, then reconnect the new cable. With my pliers, I made sure to hold the red locking tab in position on the connector before inserting the new button. Otherwise, it is challenging to gain the leverage needed to connect them. This sounds more difficult than it actually is, it's just a matter of doing it and getting it done. Would have been better to do this when my button started falling apart a year ago.
The button on the rear window of a 2007 Tahoe was fixed using this part. Five minutes were required for the installation. It took me a few minutes to work the old switch around and pull it down with needle nose pliers. The old button was removed with a thin screwdriver by pressing the tabs holding it My biggest concern was that the connector would stick back into the tailgate, so I used a pick with a hook on it to keep it from falling back into the tailgate. It can be retracted and I can use the hook to pull it As I pushed up on the button to connect it, I could pull down the hook to connect as I pulled up on the button. There is a difference between the original and this design. A "rubber" button could be found on the original. There are hard plastics like this here. Rather than this, I like it Unlike the last one, this one won't disintegrate.
This video will give you an idea of how to remove the old one. It's about 4 minutes long, so you should be able to find it. You don't need to watch the 20 minute one. . . it's a waste of time. I replaced the button to open my rear glass on my 2014 Yukon XL Denali with this part. In the 2007-2008 model years, the same is probably true for Tahoes, Suburbans, and Escalades The range for 14 is given below. I am an example of how anyone can accomplish this. The easiest part of this fix is finding the locating tools first. This is a 5 minute fix, but the hardest part is getting the old one out, but watching the YouTube video really helps you out. As an aside, I am a woman with long manicured nails and did not even break one doing this. My husband would have done this for me for sure if I had ever mentioned it to him, but now I can use his time for more complex tasks.
The old button had lost part of its plastic button piece, and you had to poke a finger or screwdriver up into the hole to open the rear glass hatch. It was necessary to remove, pry out the old button assembly and connect the wire to the new button assembly and click it back into the hole after disconnecting and reconnecting the wire. I find it to be not too hard. =)
Works well. DIY projects that are easy to do.
