NOVAPARTS Spare Tire Carrier Lock Cover & Ring Kit — Silverado/Sierra 2014–2019, OEM-fit Seal

NOVAPARTS 22979267 spare tire carrier lock cover and rings kit is a direct-fit replacement that seals and secures the spare tire hoist on 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.

This kit restores the protective ring assembly and lock cover that keep the spare tire hoist’s lock cylinder and mechanical parts free from mud, water, and debris. Designed to match factory dimensions and OEM numbers (22979267, 47830, 15769308, 47831, 15040331), the components slip into the existing hoist and form a tight barrier that reduces corrosion, prevents jamming, and prolongs hoist function across urban, highway, and off‑road driving.

How does this kit protect the spare tire hoist from corrosion and jamming?

The ring assembly and lock cover interlock to create a sealed enclosure around the hoist’s lock cylinder and fasteners. By limiting direct exposure to water, mud, and dust, the parts reduce opportunities for rust and mechanical binding without altering hoist operation.

• Precision-fit cover and rings that align with factory mounting points
• Seals out road grime and standing water from the lock cylinder
• Prevents mud buildup that causes lock sticking during off-road use
• Enhances corrosion resistance of hoist linkages and fasteners

Which Chevy and GMC models will this NOVAPARTS kit fit?

This kit is made for specific Silverado and Sierra model years and trims that use the tube-style spare tire carrier. Confirm compatibility with your vehicle before purchase to ensure a direct swap with the existing hoist parts.

• 2014–2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
• 2015–2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD

What installation steps and tools are required?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working under the vehicle or using a basic hoist tool kit. The parts are designed to drop into the factory location and secure with the original fasteners.

• Remove the old cover/ring assembly (retain original bolts if reusable)
• Seat the NOVAPARTS ring and snap or bolt the cover into place
• Check hoist operation and lock function before returning the vehicle to normal use

What driving situations benefit most from this replacement kit?

The kit delivers value across everyday commuting, long highway trips, and off‑road excursions by maintaining the hoist’s mechanical reliability and preventing emergency failures when you need the spare.

• Urban driving: stops road salt and grit from corroding lock parts
• Highway travel: reduces vibration-related loosening and wear
• Off‑road use: blocks mud and debris that can jam the lock cylinder
• Long-term protection: extends the service life of spare hoist components
