Agree 100%. Sound is not great but I got it “free” after my hassles with a leaking rear window. So it’s a fun show piece.

I got to looking at this again, are you sure that is coming from the front window and not from the gasket on the driver door? They have to remove those as well to remove the headliner, and maybe it was re-installed incorrectly?

Lawyer up, lemon it and be done with it. That’s insanity.

One month leak free with my replacement FayUO E4

My headliner went through the front window. To replace the back glass they need to drop the headliner. So might as well get it all done at once.

I agree that not all will leak. Mine did (Ft Wayne 12/2018). But back to the original issue, why pay new truck money on a truck that already leaks on the lot! I would never recommend that. I also agree it is so dealer dependent. My first one was garbage and you could tell the truck was not taken care of. The second was much better and treated with kid gloves after corporate got involved - but it shouldn’t have come to that in the first place!

Run away as fast as you can. the only way I’d consider it is if they replaced the window and then sold it. otherwise go look for another AT4 elsewhere

Seems like they gave you the wrong replacement window. Almost everyone else has been getting Fayuo 43R—0000072 ive been leak free for a month with this window. We will see i haven’t noted any popping noises from roof / spoiler like I did with old Fayuo window

Thanks for the info. Happen to have any photos? Would be interesting to see the tear down images.

Interesting. And not good that a replacement window failed. That makes two replacement windows that have failed on the forum if I’m remembering correctly.

What model new window did you get? I cannot remember.

Bottom corner of the window. also would be interesting to note if you can see any cracks along the upper window frame from the inside.

Can you please tell us the model number of the Second window that Leaked? Ie vitro vs fayuo and the numbers beside it?

Having had my spoiler seam sealed at the holes, and then having a window replaced later, I can tell you the spoiler comes off with the seam sealer there (you can find some photos of my truck taken apart earlier in the thread if you want to see what it looks like off the truck after seam sealer applied)

That is a Vitro window (different manufacture). Both of my windows were FAYUO. I don't know if anyone on this thread can explain the difference between the two manufacturer companies. I suspect they started with one, changed suppliers, and then changed part numbers again. But who knows?? I just know the most up to date part number they are telling me is FAYUO 43R-000072

so far leak free - just had a raging 8 hr rain yesterday so i'm hopeful that this will be the end of discussion. I have been assured as such. But honestly, I was leak free with the other ones for 6 months so we will see if this one lasts that long too. I can't really tell much difference from the inside to see if they beefed anything up or not.

Interesting because 43R-00072 is what I have in my window right now as a replacement

Your dealership sounds like my first dealer and they were an absolute joke. Go somewhere else. Run somewhere else. Night and day getting into the right spot

All the dealers around here sub contract out to local glass company.

Just wanted to update what I hope is the end to this saga: Just got my truck back for what I hope will be the last time. Went to a second dealership, and it was night and day difference in the service (also probably helped that GM exec's were aware of what was going on). But man, it gave me hope that there are at least a few good techs out there that can do the job properly. They replaced my replacement window because the glass guy at the original dealership didn't seal it correctly. It is still the FAYUO 43R-000042 window, so that hasn't changed. The paint has been taken care of. The headliner looks l like new. They cleaned up the mess of caulk left by the original caulk job. Overall, they did an amazing job but it took forever and a day and some conversations with the right people to make it happen. Now the big test is this week - storms 90% and above for the next 5 days. Praying it doesn't leak again, but so far this morning it has been solid. I guess the moral of the story is, if you don't get a good vibe from the first dealer, don't be afraid to run like hell to another one.

I have heard the same stories but pinned them down on a number in writing with email / text. Haven’t received any of it yet since I haven’t actually gotten my truck back yet. We will see

Someone a long while back mentioned class action discussions with a law firm. I wonder what became of that? I looked at one of my rental car invoices while I was driving around waiting for a window - 2 grand! GM is losing their shirt no on this stuff I would imagine.

I hand washed only for 5 months. Daily driver. Summer and fall. Nothing strenuous. Still leaked like a sieve. So don’t think for one second that hand washing will save everyone from a faulty design. im still shocked I was told they haven’t changed anything in the design process to fix this mess. What a disaster.

Dropped November 6th. I’ve got you beat!

I’m thinking 4 or 5 but I’m not certain as I never saw the spoiler off the truck.
