Thank you so much for that! I didn’t realize it was held with screws in the bottom, but that makes sense. Here I’m sitting here thinking it’s a snapfit and it’s not. Really really appreciate it!

I nicked the rubberized finish on my Center Console Tray Trim 84164813. I need to replace it. I have the new part but I have no idea how to separate the trim from the rest of the center console door. I tried a screw driver under the trim piece to pry it up (gently) and then forcibly. Then I was able to get my entire fingers under the side of the trim and pull up, which that didn't pop it off either. Do I just need to pull harder? Quicker? Is there a trick to the disassembly here? Any help is appreciated.

Did you happen to take any photos? My leak is so minor that I’m not in anyway excited about taking that headliner down again. I cut my fingers on the fiberglass edge and pulled the one of the clips off during the first round. Luckily I had a hot glue gun lying around when that happened and a little luck to eyeball assemble it back in the perfect spot. Ugh.

The good thing is that water is no longer leaking down my rear window after the at-home service bulletin fix. The bad part is that I have a new dark line in my headliner around the same place where a small amount of water is still coming through at times. Since its only a small amount of water, I guess I'm just going to let it happen and clean the water line on the head liner every year or so, hoping the leak doesn't get any worse.

I will definitely write it up and send it to you along with my windshield fogging (Defrost vent leak) issue that the dealer can't seem to fix. Thank you for responding to my issue.

I'll join in here. My 2019 RST has about 44k miles on it and I have experienced the brake squealing noise for as long as I can remember. It seems to come from the rear passenger side, and a loud squeal when slowing down at slow speeds and when coming to a stop (backing up or going forward). I thankfully don't have the squeal while driving problem that some note here. Anyway, I too went to the dealer and complained all through my warranty. They gave me the same lines..."its the new brake pad material", "we didn't hear anything" "we couldn't replicate it," and that "all brakes squeal at some point in time. Complete lies and BS, the same response I get when I complain about other things too. I complained until my 36k warranty went out and well, I guess its now my problem. If a new set a pads will fix it, I will put on the new pads...just let me know which ones. I'll check out the Power Stop. I assume I don't have to turn the rotors, just expand the calipers and put on new pads...even at 44k?

I disagree. When the window frame cracks completely, the cracks extends all the way into the cab. With the headliner in place as stock, if I press upward firmly on the headliner just above the left or right headrest, I can actually see that the headliner covers the cracked frame. When the headliner is in its stock position, the water will leak through the crack and onto the headliner from behind the headliner.

Well, I did do the fix. I used the Barrier Bond gap sealant I linked previously since I couldn't readily find the other sealant. I thought it was better than regular silicone. I do wish it flowed a bit better but hopefully since I just had a very small leak after 4 years, that this will fix the issue for awhile. A big SAFETY WARNING to anyone that attempts this: When you are removing the headliner, make sure to use cut proof gloves when sliding your hands around the back of the cab to pull down on the brackets. The headliner is fiberglass under the cloth and I cut several fingers pretty bad. Either take your time working your fingers in between the cab and headliner but best to where cut proof gloves. Another tip I will give is to have a hot glue gun on hand just in case the rear headliner brackets gets torn from the headliner. One of them was slightly separated on the corner and the other bracket was completely torn off. A hot glue gun put it back quickly.

After reading more, I'm not more confused than ever about if I want to try to fix this on my own. It sounds like not putting everything back together correctly can cause more leaks in different places. That, and I can't figure out what what gap filler adhesive I want to use and it sounds like it might not even be a permanent fix. No time to take it to the dealer either right now. I was thinking this might work well and is available. I have white on order to be delivered tomorrow for a black truck (otherwise I couldn't do the project this weekend. I figure it wouldn't be seen in the trench. But after looking at the photo on page 229, maybe it would be seen if the bead was too large. This sucks.

The link isn't showing up well. Was able to get a screenshot before it disappears. Reposting the link for others. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255000-diy-sliding-window-leak-permanent-repair/

Hmmm. Where is the DIY and that sealant?

That is VERY disappointing to hear, but good to know going forward. I can see the crack and it corresponds to where the water is coming in...so hopefully....hopefully that will take care of it. Time will tell. Sorry you had to go back to a solid glass.

Much appreciated! I can actually see the cracks on the inside looking up at the window channel from inside the truck....so I'm positive I have the same cracks on top under the spoiler. I plan to tackle this project tomorrow, fill the channel with sealant...and I'll report back.

Yes. Why, did I miss something in the 230 pages that I need to know?

I am unfortunately here with the rest of you with the same problem on my 2019 Silverado RST. I will be implementing the TSB fix myself since I'm at 41,000 miles. Apparently the leak has been there for quite some time and I didn't know. I called my local dealer, Payne Chevrolet in Springfield, TN and asked them if they had either of the required sealers in stock. They said no. I asked what was I supposed to do if I can't get them easily and you don't have them. He said, you would have to order them, and then hung up on me. Amazing customer service when every truck has the problem, GM won't take responsibility and they won't even help you with parts.
