EXIT STRATEGY = CARVANA

Sold my 2019 TB a year ago to Carvana. Thinking about getting back into a 2022 in a couple months. Just curious if anyone has heard, read or insights otherwise on what is the likelihood that the Rear Window Leak, Radio Glitches and Low Res Rear Camera issues might be GM factory resolved by then? It's been 3 years of lots of buyer noise, TSBs in that space, what are the chances?

Absolutely horrendous, so many thousands of units with this issue. Is your truck the Slider Window or Fixed Window?

Brother, you're not alone. But be it known, the problem is imho a design issue. There are 16 holes in the roof under that rear spoiler. In addition, the rear window encasement is prone to cracking, something in the design has too much flex, recall those torsional rigidity commercials Chevrolet used to tout. Torsional rigidity requires an engineer and apparently focus groups are designing vehicles these days and not engineers. Everyone's truck is 100% susceptible to this leakage. Driving rain and car wash probably OK. Sitting outside in the rain for days, or covered in snow, you're gonna leak and it's going to ruin the vehicle.

Fascinating. Did you previously have a leak and you're sharing that it is fixed?

Affects multiple colors but especially the metallic paint. No your brand new truck wasn't in an accident at the dealership or in transit. It is a Factory Paint Flaw (or not a flaw per say but an "Anomaly") that is occurring on the front corner plastic flares. Apparently these are painted separately from the main truck body and they are causing mis matches. Metallic paint can be very tricky if not applied in the exact same direction and on the same type of substrate (plastic versus tin vs aluminum)

Yeah, they moved it to the front center dash, go figure.... Sunglasses heat up real bad there too.

can you post a link to the FB group, haven't seen it...interested.

Just washed CHEVROLET

It sure is and I want to believe they would make it right if they could but financially, with COVID19 and all the closures, I doubt it will be this year. They are offering too many 4-6 month no payment incentives that suggest all of the manufacturers are desperate. Maybe in 2021 if they engineer a better window, then they'll retroactively use it to replace any 19s & 20s still having the problem. Salt on the wound is that I've seen too many folks showing pictures of the scratches, rips and rubs that the techs make in removing and reinstalling these windows in their new trucks. Apparently they have to get inside, crawl around the back of the cab to do it? Side note, I was at a tire store the other day, getting a tire mounted to a rim for one of our other cars. Those guys in the bays working in all this heat, they are covered in sweat & grease. They get into customers cars like that all day long. I was like - um yeah, I think if I ever have to come in and leave the vehicle for a new set of tires, if they have to get into my vehicle like that, I'll make habit of coming to have that work done in the Winter!

I have a TB, but its the Custom Trim, no sliding window, no leak. Just a thought, but if someone did a have a leak, is it an option to ask them to replace the sliding window with a fixed window?

Awesome, I have the 2019 Custom Trial Boss with 5.3L and was thinking about the Muffler Delete, is that what you mean by straight pipe exhaust? If so, how do you like it, how is the noise at freeway cruising speeds, any drone? Can you add a pic of the underside? THANKS!

This is awesome and you're right a must for DFI engines. My previous truck was the 2016 2500HD with the 6.0L V8 but I think that engine was the last of the SFI. DFI is nice, but it comes with a hiccup in gunk, these catch cans help eliminate that.
