  1. It is $1050 to replace the whole 3 window assembly at safelite. FYI.
  2. I'm surprised to find out that the single glass piece cannot be replaced on the sliding glass models. It is a whole assembled unit being replaced on mine. Need to take the back seats out even to access the motor. Hopefully this will solve all my issues.
  3. I wanted to provide an update. The dealer was not willing to help me out after all and I went the insurance route with safelite. Hopefully installation goes good next week.
  4. Wow! Are you paying for that replacement? I thought most insurance will fix it with 0 deductable? Maybe my understanding is incorrect though.
  5. Here are a few more pics. The whole outside of the window is falling apart and the lower corner as you can see fully blew out.
  6. Yeah, thankfully! It is always running while the truck is running. I talked to the dealer and they said while they never saw it themselves they heard of this issue. He's talking to his district manager if they can help me out. I'm 3 years and 1 month of ownership and 43k miles, so just outside of factory warranty. I do have a 3rd party warranty and i'm sure insurance would cover it 0 deductible, but I'd rather ensure OEM glass if possible from the dealer.
  7. It captured it, but no smoke. I didn't visibly see smoke. Rear camera happens at about 36 seconds. https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aurj0ClVMpMeg5NloMVafarjpG8C5A Front camera. https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aurj0ClVMpMeg5NkujU7FmWbjY8hOg
  8. Mine just exploded this morning while driving. I used the defroster because the side mirrors had ice on them. 2015 SLT. 43k miles. Smelled burning too.
  9. I installed these the other week and think they are really good. We had a couple big midwest storms and they had no issue with snow or ice. Highway speeds has a very faint whir to them, but most probably wouldnt even notice. They dont stand out as ultra aggressive off road tires on the truck, and look a bit modest imo, but they perform very well.
  10. Have you heard an SType? I'm curious how it compares. I wanted to get the ATAK but was afraid of it being too loud/obnoxious, but I'm now thinking it might be pretty great still.
  11. It is loud that people will notice. It is not really possible to drive it quietly unless you are off the throttle, accelerate and people will notice you and likely turn their head. The noise is an aggressive deep tone, but honestly really good in my opinion. Full throttle pulls are amazingly aggressive but with a solid tone, not just loud. This is my favorite part. There is just something to it that is spot on. V4 drone is there bit minimal. In the cabin windows up with music at low-mid listening volume it is noticeable but not distracting during city driving. Conversations are had without issues. My wife who rolls her eyes at car things I do and buy actually really likes the tone of it. She said it's very aggressive sounding, not too little and not too much. I've got loud borlas on my corvette which is matted to a 350 HO deluxe crate engine. Those are very loud but lack the distinct tone that these stypes have. Sure my corvette has the awesome lumpy muscle car idle, but there is something to the actual notes of the stype that is great. More refined for sure, but still plenty of in your face. My corvette for comparison is very difficult to have a conversation in the car with that exhaust. You have to talk very loud almost yelling. Honestly, I never heard the corsa or borla stype in person before buying so I suppose it is possible the corsa is even better. YouTube videos certainly don't do the proper justice. Best course if possible is to hear them in person. Really though, my gut says you can't go wrong with either one.
