  1. If you place absolutely zero value in keeping anything dry in the back of your truck then sure it's a great cover. Their customer service was responsive in my multiple requests for replacements so I will give them that at least. If I had to do it over I 100% would not buy that cover.

  2. I have a keystone passport 239 which is probably 5500 lbs fully loaded 2 axles. I seem to settle in at about 6 to 6.5 on the trailer brake depending on truck load to make it feel "right". Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  3. My window was replaced with a fuayo window of the same model number that came on my truck that leaked. The dealer had a local glass company do the install. I fully expect it to leak at some point. I carry two cans of flex seal and a tube of silicone windshield caulk in my glove box for any roadside leak repairs Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  4. The secret code is don't buy that leaking piece of junk in the first place. You can have mine forn$400 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  5. I get it too. 2020 trail boss 5 3 10 speed. 1-2 seems to hesitate or almost slip a little before engagement to 2nd. Mostly noticeable under very light acceleration worse when going up hill. Nothing I'm going to worry about. It's still light years ahead of the 8 speed clunker I had on my last truck. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  6. I will add that I love advanced trailer package that allows you to install tpms sensors in your trailer tires. It shows all 4 tires psi and temp. I check it literally every few minutes when towing at higher speeds on highway. On average my 14 inch travel trailer tires (2 axle 5500lb tt) will start out at 60 psi 80 ton 90 degrees in summer and will add 10 psi and get up to 120 degrees at 65 mph. So those tires really hear up. If your truck has the advanced trailer I would highly recommend getting the sensors installed. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  7. I had the brake system failure message on my 2020 trail boss a few months ago with a check engine light for about two ignition cycles then it went away on its own. Tonight after using my truck power to raise and lower the tongue jack on my 5000 lb travel trailer several times taking it in to dealer (already removed battery from trailer) I shut off truck. When I went to start truck I got the brake system failure 62 mph top speed warning but it only flashed briefly then went away on its own. Perhaps it had something to do with my battery being low after using it to raise and lower my trailer toung. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  8. Well folks it's been 10 months since I had my rear window replaced on my 2020 trail boss, you know after also having my 2019 bought back by gm for the rear window leak. I must say I was a legend on this rear window leak forum early on. People at the grocery store would stop me all the time and ask me if I was the rear window leak guy they saw on the internet. Well okay not really. Happy to report still bone dry. It's actually to the point where I don't check it every time it rains anymore. So now that I 100% jinxed myself just wanted everyone to know there is hope that maybe you'll be good after a replacement by a proper glass shop. All in all I'm pretty happy with my truck and would probably buy it again even knowing I might have to replace the window. Just not in black though. THAT was the stupidest decision I ever made.

  9. My 2020 trail boss had a kink in the top left corner just like yours. Identical. Ironically it was leaking in the right side. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  10. "Fixed"..ha. thanks needed a good Friday quarantine laugh. You are quite the comedian Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  11. I removed my z71 badges last weekend. What a train wreck. Warmed it up but instead of tape coming off truck the badges came off and left all the tape on the truck. I then spent probably 5 hours with soap, sponge and alternating with goo be gone till I couldn't feel my fingertips anymore. There was also a chip in the paint under the badge. So then I had to touch that up. Now I can see the paint chip. Think I might buy new badges to put back on to cover up the paint chip. And honestly I didn't really think it looked all that better without the badges. They are coming out with black z71 badges for the new Carhartt edition trim so might try to get a set of those.

  12. Interesting. Just realized the work truck trim doesn't have the spoiler on the back... Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  13. Sorry have no idea. Never seen how they mount Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  14. Suddenly a leaking rear window doesn't seem like a big deal. Perspective. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  15. FYI if your truck has the camera in the rear brake light it won't work with the truck cap. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  16. Honda uses a three piece rear window with a spoiler but they figured out how it wouldn't leak. I had a Honda Ridgeline for 9 years, mile after mile, I brought it to the dealer once. Yup 1 mechanical problem in 9 years. And it was very minor small leak from a hose. Chevy has a long way to go. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  17. You should be reporting this to NHTSA. That is a serious fire risk. If those wires are getting hot enough to melt plastic it could start a fire. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  18. Was yours replaced or just caulked? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  19. Was just thinking out loud. What about getting some clear flex seal tape tucking it up under spoiler and press it against the back cap of the truck, down in the channel at top of window and up over the top edge of the glass. Then use a razor knife to trim the excess off flush with the glass. Not sure you could effectively do it with the spoiler on but it might be a better, less messy temp fix than caulk if you had the spoiler off. If you could get that tape to stick real good along the entire length of the window top it would create a membrane barrier like on a flat roof. Who wants to give it a try?

  20. My GM REV gets water inside the panel which then leaks out through the straps and drips right out of the latches. It was already replaced one under warranty and the replacement cover does the same think. I guess GM matched the leaking tonneau perfectly to the Leaking rear window on my 19 and 20 trailbosses Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  21. Great to hear. Make sure you check the rear slider. They forgot to hook up the power to kine when they replaced the glass Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  22. There was someone way back in this thread who used that flowable silicone and stopped his leak (think it eventually came back).. I was thinking of running some of that along the top of my replacement window as a precaution. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  23. The felt gm ones sit infront of those screws but stuff still collects there. I like that extra space makes it easier to hose out Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  24. Which will also leak Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
  25. If you live in the rust belt, consider buying some fluid film cans and their application hose/wand. It's about $30 on Amazon for 3 cans. I hose down the fenders real good under the GM wheel well liners and spray the snot out of the inside and around wheel well with the application hose and nozzle . The salt really accumulates up under the wheel wells where the felt liner rests on the wheel well arches. I also stick the application hose inside the tube of my trailer hitch and spray the receiver down good a couple times a year to keep the hitch from rusting where the paint gets chipped off from the draw bar. In the spring I will probably take the gm felt liners out and hose the fenders down good to get all the salt out, then fluid film and reinstall. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
