I have a 15 silverado and at times I hear the drivers window ticking or clicking. extremely annoying. I thought originally it was the plastic trim piece that connects with the seal. i lifted on it and realized its just wrapped around the door without any real clips until it meets the window seal. I stuck some double sided tape in there to see if that would help. nope its still there. so i read a couple threads here and found some people pressing on the window and it would go away. I pressed the window and it went away. have we found a solution to this? I took it to my dealer and of course it didn't do it when they drove it. it does it every other day. has anyone had any luck fixing this one?

I have the exact same problem, been there pretty much since I bought the truck 9 months ago. Mine comes and goes depending on the weather and tends to do it more on cooler days when the sun is out. It does go away if I press firmly on the window or crack the window. Something is swelling and shrinking in the door based on temperature but not sure what it could be. Had a squeak in my gas pedal that also came and went with the temperature but dealership fixed that with foam padding.

Mine does the same thing but only makes the noise if you hit rough spots in the road. If you crack the window just a hair it stops. I may put some silicone spray lube on a rag and rub it on the top edge of the window to see if it will help. Could be the clips that hold the felt window guide in place when they get pressure on them when the window is fully up just a thought. I assume the felt guide has clips on the back side to hold it in place. May try to pull the guide down just to see how its held in place.

Let us know, mine was pretty tame yesterday but I also had the window down when I wasn't on the highway.

I have the same ticking popping sound in my 14. I have stopped it for now. will try to explain what I did. On the drivers side window let the window down. At the top of the window track look from outside the door looking in . look at the back edge of the rubber track pull out on it there is a fold where it meets rubber again. I took some WD-40 sprayed it on a rag and rubbed it in that fold from the door post side around almost down to the mirror. Then I did the same with where the window goes up in the track. So far the noise has stopped don't know how long it will last but found the cause of the noise. I would rather use spray silicon but was out. Hope this helps.

I had the same noise in the front driver window area. I determined the clicking/rattle was coming from the head liner above my head in the vicinity of the overhead grab handle. The noise went away when I put slight upward pressure on the roof liner with my hand.

I then removed the grab handle, pulled down the liner edge at top of door opening. Looking inside, the top of the liner has a hard plastic material that appeared to be making slight contact with the roof metal. I placed a piece of foam in this area, reinstalled the grab handle and the noise is gone.

Is your click/tick more at highway speeds? Can you jam your fingers in between the weather strip where the door meets the trucks and sound goes away? that was the case with mine. I added some weatherstrip on top of the weatherstrip around the top right side (truck ...not door) ......fixed my issue. I may post a pic tomorrow..

Would your noise go away if you cracked the window just a hair mine would. I rubbed some WD-40 in the top of the window track and the noise stopped until the 40 started to wear off.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
