Has anyone else had this happen? I tried to wash my windshield and it was spraying just at the bottom, so I looked at it when I stopped for gas. I was thinking the washer lost it's aim, but when I got to the passenger side, I noticed the trim was down below the window. I pulled it back up, but the rubber was creased pretty bad and I'm not sure it will recover. I'll look at it tomorrow as this happened Tuesday I should know by now if it's going to recover. If not the dealer can fix it. I just thought I'd see if anyone else has had this happen.

It happens but is only a trim piece and not intended as a water seal. When mine falls below the bottom of the edge of the windshield I line it back up in place with a small plastic/nylon wedge tool. Anything else will likely tear or distort the shape of the trim piece. Noticed the gap on mine while doing my pre-delivery inspection when I purchased the truck new and my dealer changed it but it still happens on occasion.

 

When it did it again, I checked back with the dealer and they confirmed it is not intended as a water seal and will not result in water leaking into the cab of the truck. The plastic trim piece expands/collapses during temperature swings and while it may be considered unsightly, is considered normal.

Make sure to not push on that plastic trim piece as it is not a weight bearing piece.

Mine is creased from the winshield in the two spots it folded under. I don't think it will go back fully, but if it does before I go back to the dealer great otherwise they can replace it. I've never messed with that area in anyway so not sure why it happened. The only thing I can think that would put pressure there is highway speeds and auto car wash.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
