Spyder 9962714 Upper Front Active Grille Shutter Assembly with Motor

The Spyder 9962714 is an aftermarket replacement upper front active grille shutter assembly with integrated motor, designed to restore the factory active aerodynamics system on the 2020–2024 GMC Acadia. It is a direct replacement for OE part number 85524693.

Active grille shutters are electronically controlled louvers mounted in the upper front grille opening. The vehicle's onboard computer opens and closes the shutters based on real-time operating conditions — including engine load, vehicle speed, and ambient temperature — to balance aerodynamic efficiency with engine cooling needs. When cooling demand is low, the shutters close to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel economy. When the engine requires additional airflow — such as during towing, climbing grades, or in high-temperature conditions — the shutters open to allow maximum airflow to the radiator and cooling system.

Key Features:

• Replaces OE part number 85524693
• Includes integrated actuator motor for plug-and-play installation
• Electronically controlled via the vehicle's existing computer system
• Helps restore fuel efficiency, engine cooling performance, and aerodynamic function
• Designed to fit the upper front grille position on 2020–2024 GMC Acadia
