I've developed a small water leak on my headliner up by the sun visor latch (driver's side). My truck has cab lights and the XM antenna.. Anyone else have this issue?

Truck is a 2015 2500hd CC 6.0 with 20,000miles

Probably the Onstar/XM antenna, common problem.

 

take it back to the dealer and they will replace with a new one.

I've not had that issue yet. Very particular about my truck, does a leak stain the headliner? I wonder if I could be proactive and get replaced before it started leaking? I relly like this truck, and don't want to be looking at a water stain for the next few years if it happens.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, if it hasn't leaked yet it probably won't. Mine did. Didn't do any damage or staining, just an inconvenience and disappointment. But I'm over it now and loving the truck.

I never saw any water but my GPS and the compass in the dash display quit working after a 3 day rain. Dealer said water got into the XM antenna. They replaced it with a new part number.

My half ton is two years old and the onstar antenna started leaking. I am careful not to hit it with anything. When it is off warranty it is about $520 in Canada to fix it. They are held on by plastic clips " that just fail sometimes"

Next time I will fix it for $5 with a tube of silicone.

The good news is the water marks came out with some hand cleaning clothes that I get from Acklands.

I too had this issue. Returned the truck and issue was fixed. However, now the top of the cab between windshield and around lights, is showing rust (rot) spots. Now what am I supposed to do.....

I know this is old post but there is a TSB out about “ shark fin” leaks. 
I’ve got a ‘15 but didn’t start leaking till last year. Out of warranty so siliconed all lights and fin. Still a leak? Come to find out windshield was leaking filled top around windshield with trim caulk.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
