Yeah, I figure as much. But, they said they have to try this patch first before replacing. 

Yeah they have a certain procedure to follow.

Well my 2019 early build leaker was replaced with 2020 hopefully not leaker. No signs of an leaks on the window or headliner of the 2020 so fingers crossed. Very impressed with the 10 speed after th

No leaker here so can't do a 100% verification, but the problem seems to be with the spoiler design, regardless of weather the sealer leaks or not, and any cracks in the trim make it worse.

It’s at the dealer now. I’ll know how it turns out by this afternoon. Fingers crossed! 

I'm going on 3 months with mine being resealed. Been through touchless car wash a few times, and many hand washes, and I shoot jet of water into all the cracks around the 3rd brake light every time I wash it...So far no more leaking.

Wow! I want to use your dealer!

 

I seriously considered just breaking the window and having it replaced through insurance at a reputable body shop. It’s a damn shame to have to consider those kind of options.

My front bumper is chipped so bad that i'm going to need to get it painted, not looking forward to that bill, so pissed at myself for not getting Xpel put on it before I started driving it.

Mine made it 3 months, thought for sure it was good to go, then it started leaking again. If gm isn't going to replace window I'm going lemon law or possibly file an insurance claim and have my rear window replaced, then buy an F150. I couldn't in good conscience trade this truck in unless the rear window was replaced first.

Don't the F-150s also have issues with the rear windows leaking?

Have you not brought that up to your dealer?  This was an issue on the K2XX trucks with painted bumpers & they allowed for a one time repaint.  After that one repaint, you were on your own.

Thanks, I will when I take it back in for the window leak.

Best of luck - and if it swings in your favor, get that PPF on there. ?

Well, I didn’t get my truck back today. Dealer said the sealant was slow to set up. Apparently I’m the first one my dealer has done. That doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Hoping for better news tomorrow.

Add me to the list of those affected by rear window leaking.  Bought the truck on Wednesday with 86 miles on it, had water on both rear seats on Thursday.  It's an 8/18 Fort Wayne assembly LTZ.  Dealership can't even look at it till a week from Tuesday 9/3/19.  Needless to say not happy one bit.  I hope they are able to just replace the window, without trying the sloppy caulking job 1st, but I doubt it.

You’re going to need a new headliner as well, that requires the removal of the windshield.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
