NEW open-package genuine OEM General Motors (GM) brand upper radiator air baffle for selected 2016-19 Chevrolet Cruze models with the 1.4-liter gas and 1.6-liter diesel engines. The baffle is helpful in restoring correct air flow, engine cooling, and other functionality if your existing one is cracked, missing, or otherwise damaged. It was purchased in about 2022 at a local GM dealer for my own personal use. The piece appears to be molded of a thinner plastic; it is mostly rigid but does have some flop in it. One end is more thin, and the other end is more substantial, but the unit is one solid piece. It appears to have a number of mounting holes, but no hardware is included, nor do I believe any hardware originally came with the part. You will need to obtain any needed mounting hardware separately, or re-use your existing hardware. The part appears to be molded appropriately for the years, makes, and models specified below. Rough measurements are about 29-1/2" wide at the widest point, by about 8" deep at its deepest point, by about 3-1/2" thick at its thickest point - though there are curves, contours, and grooves throughout, as can be seen in the pictures. The baffle comes in a cardboard genuine GM shipping and storage box, which has been opened for the purpose of inspecting and photographing the part. No other items were originally included, nor are any provided at this time.
The baffle carries genuine General Motors (GM) part #39122801. This part number is labeled in two places on the outer box.
According to a number of GM parts outlets, this baffle will fit 2016-19 Chevrolet Cruze models with the 1.4-liter gas engine, and 2017-19 Chevrolet Cruze models with the 1.6-liter diesel engine. This fitment information is based on my best research. Please consult a dealership or other resource to do your own research on nuances like trim level and options before bidding or buying. A search using your own vehicle's VIN is usually your best policy!
This baffle was purchased in about 2022 at a local GM dealer at full retail price. I bought it for a project that never ended up materializing. Therefore, I no longer have any use for this and offer it up here.
The part appears to be in NEW open-package condition cosmetically and functionally. It has never been installed in a vehicle. The baffle has only been taken out of the original cardboard box for the purpose of inspecting and photographing it. The plastic appears to be in great shape, as boxed up at the factory. There does not appear to be any molding defects from the factory. No apparent cracks, breaks, bends, kinks, or other areas of damaged or missing plastic. All reinforced areas and mounting holes appear to be in good shape. The part number, manufacture date, and other information is stamped directly into the plastic.
The original cardboard box has some wear and tear, dirt, stains, and previous labeling. It also has some creases and dings - particularly at the edges and corners - but overall is sound for shipping and storage. The box has some spots of oil and dirt on a few sides, but none of this appears to have transferred to the part itself. The part # is listed on the box in two locations.
Please view all pictures to get a better sense of the condition of everything. Again, the baffle comes with the original cardboard box (though re-taped). No other original documentation or packaging is included, nor was anything else originally included.

Please be encouraged to ask any questions you may have before buying. I want to ensure that you can buy with the best possible understanding of what you are getting.
