    On my 2018 GMC the topper was great with the keyless entry controlling the window lock. When I ordered my 2021 topper everything was supposed to be the same plus a upgrade of having the window on a prop switch to control the light inside. Everything was going to be plug and play. Asked multiple times if there would be problems and was assured no. My truck is a SLT premium plus so the Denali falls in the same line with the advanced trailing package. When I went to get it installed the harness didn’t work. So no light, keyless, or prop switch. Plus they couldn’t do the third brake light without splicing into the wiring under the dash somewhere. Basically said call Leer and haven’t heard a thing in two weeks. If you want the camera to work your only option would be to go with the tonneau cover. You would be looking at a pretty good custom option to keep the camera with a topper. On the mirror side my outside mirror dims but not sure on if it’s correct because my front windows are tinted.

    All sliders have the potential to leak. The early trucks had different nuts that held the spoiler down. Not sure exactly when but the design was changed on the nuts. They now seal better and are one time use.

    How many people actually put premium in the 6.2 now? When prices rise those that do now I can see putting regular or mid to save and gamble with issues later since most will be traded off.

    The liners go door to door and under the seat.

    Could you post what your dealer gave you?

    Did you ever get your cap and get the wiring straightened out? My last cap had the option of the factory key unlocking the glass. Did you get that option?

    I got my truck last week. Ordered also at the end of October. Crew cab 6.2, standard bed, SLT premium plus, and 4wd. Took a few weeks for the order to get accepted. Dealer had the allocation to get the 6.2. Getting built wasn’t that long but when it came time to ship that was a different story. Was scheduled before Christmas to arrive at the dealer. Then got pushed back to right after New Years. Signed the paper work since the dealer had a confirmation on delivery date. Then it came in twelve days later. I wanted the AT4 but my dealer said they were on restriction. Now my dealer said that GM is going to put the 8speed in more of the GMC trucks that match the Chevy trucks since the ten speed is getting hard to come by.

    My glass place ordered the glass from the local dealer. Unfortunately no part number is list on the receipt. I gave him my vin but was useless since my vin shows a slider. I told him to get a solid with factory privacy tint with defrost and he understood what I was going after. Shows a list price of $522.64 with a net price of $343.72. Which is what I was quoted when I called the dealer also. $18 charged for adhesive. Labor was $300. Tax of course is extra. With the install the spoiler and headliner stayed in place. The seat back has to be removed and the seat belts with the trim panels also need removed. For me it was worth paying extra because of the shop reputation then going with a company like Safelite. Which the guy may or not have experience. Good luck on your window.

    The better question is how many are leaking that people don’t know about.

    I’ll have to look later to see if the receipt had the part number. I believe it had the cost for the window. My glass guy just ordered the window from the dealer. Here’s another window option. https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-back-glass-84242469?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9Z2xhc3MtYW5kLWhhcmR3YXJlLWJhY2smbD03Jm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJmE9Z21jJm89c2llcnJhLTE1MDAmeT0yMDIwJnQ9c2x0JmU9Ni0ybC12OC1nYXM%3D

    In the end it cost $675 for the factory GM window. Could have gotten the aftermarket window but wasn’t much cheaper. Maybe $50 total difference and the good glass guy said just go GM factory looking with being so new. This guy has a good local following and can’t even tell it was changed. The chain glass place with a aftermarket window was just under $500. I wasn’t confident in the chain places. Went with you get what you pay for.

    After seeing a few jobs that may dealer sent out and the time it too took to repair. I’m glad that I went to a solid right away for the piece of mind. Since I ordered my truck. I had my local glass guy source the GM solid window before hand. My 2021 had less then 200miles on it when the window was pulled. The glass guy did a wonderful job and can’t even tell it was ever changed out. I’m getting a cap so the slider wasn’t that important but knowing of the leaks I wasn’t going to have the dealers glass company touch my truck. I even asked my dealer if the truck leaks could they put a solid in and was told GM wouldn’t approve even thou it’s cheaper then the slider.

    5.3 has the same valve spring issue. Just strange they only do the one cylinder versus the whole motor like the 6.2. My dealer claims GM is making them take the 3.0 to get trucks on the lot.
  14. Blue5.3l
    Dealers had Trailboss and AT4 models in stock but now they are becoming hard to get. The 3.0l seems easier to get overall. The smaller dealers don’t have the allocation to order what they want either so your at the misery of ones that do.
  15. Blue5.3l
    Wonder if it’s the suspension on the AT4 and Trailboss models that’s making them hard to come by?

    The plastic frame is glued to the window so even if the top is sealed real good eventually the frame will separate from the window elsewhere. Solid window is the best way to go to avoid future issues.

    I ordered my 6.2 the last week of October with the order being accepted in late November, built early December, then it just was waiting to be shipped. Should finally get it next week. Hopefully your dealer has allocation to get a 6.2. If your going for the AT4 it may be awhile. Those are restricted right now according to my dealer. Two to Three months is the average to get a truck ordered.
  18. Blue5.3l
    Somethings different in the compound.
  19. Blue5.3l
    Does your dealer have the allocation to get a 6.2 truck?

    The Duratrac’s on GM trucks are load range C. The Duratrac’s that are rated 3PMS are load range E. Price difference of around $80 on Tire Racks site. They have both available.
  21. Blue5.3l
    Both V8’s are having supplier issues according to my dealer. They have a lot of the 3.0 Duramax trucks on the lots. They are moving the diesel motor thou.

    Placed my order at the end of October. Ordered a SLT Premium Plus crew 6.2 with x31 and standard bed. Had constraints in early November even thou the dealer had the allocations to get what I wanted. Order got picked up before Thanksgiving. Built early December but was in quality control for awhile and now just waiting on it to be shipped up from Mexico. Dealer still doesn’t have a delivery time frame and thinks it may just show up. Dealer was told the AT4’s are held up because of supplier issues. Which can only be the suspension I would think.

    Looking at the Chevy site my truck will have everything the advance trailing package has. Will have to wait and see what happens when the cap comes in. Two of the dealers I deal with said plug and play was possible. LED tail lights make it harder to wire but a harness makes it easier from what I’m being told.
  24. Blue5.3l
    Think GM is telling dealers to get past the 3year/36,000mile warranty. Why hasn’t GM come out with a better window? Can’t be that complicated to find a solution that works.

    I have a cap also ordered for my 2021 SLT premium plus and was told with the harness it will be plug and play. The websites just aren’t up to date yet. Some dealers are also clueless and people are cheap. Some won’t pay the extra money for the harness. The 2019 models did have a problem but is now fixed. I have a cap currently on my 2018 SLT premium plus so I don’t foresee a problem. The dealer was knowledgeable then and still knew what he had to do on the new body style when I asked. I called around and was surprised by the people still confused about these trucks. Current cap has a switch for the dome light. The new cap will have the dome light on when the rear glass is open.
