Question:

Hi, the plate that held my trailer light plug-in in place in my bumper, rusted and basically disintegrated. I need to find something to replace it. The rest of the bumper is fine, not rusted, and intact. Ive attached a couple photos so you can see my problem. Hope you can help! Thank you!

Although we do not have a cover that takes up that whole space, I do have a way that you potentially mount your 7-Way at your rear bumper on your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado.

You could use the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 by disconnecting the 7-Way connector and then feeding the wiring harness and plug through the hole in the bracket. You can then either mount it using the included self-tapping screws.

i have attached a video of this process being done. If you will be driving the screws into your bumper and you would like to avoid that, you may be able to use a No-Drill Bracket, like part # 18140 or part # C57202, if you have a place to secure it.

@JeffK The video shows up further down on this page, but I'm attaching it here as well. It's a video demonstrating how to use the no-drill mounting bracket, not necessarily of how to go through the solution that I presented in the answer above.
