Thankfully my dealer made it right and after two failed attempts they finally replaced the window. I have been leak free since and my truck has been flawless.

Well I think I jinxed myself. Just found water drops on the back seat again. It's not leaking bad but it is leaking from both sides. The headliner is not wet.

 

Back to the dealer she goes. Fourth trip for the water leak...and my window has been replaced already.

 

F me!

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.

I washed my 2019 Silverado today and noticed the leak and it’s happed before I have 3-4 water rings on my liner now. No brand new car should leak from a fixed window.  I’m taking it in Monday. However the latest software update has fixed the Climate off issue which are the type of problems I was  expecting not leaking windows

My best advice would be to deal directly with the dealer service manager, and tell him or her you want the district manager from GM to contact you directly. The dealer will only follow the procedure to apply sealant. Anything other than that will require approval from the district manager. I spoke to mine district manager directly and he came to the dealer to look at my truck and was able to get a new window ordered from GM which will hopefully be here this week. It only required about 65 phone calls, 34 days out of service and 8 or 9 trips to the dealer to get the new window ordered. If the replacement window leaks, well then I already have the lemon law papers printed out.

So have we seen any leaking issues with models built after say 10/2018?  I am very hesitant to purchase a '19 model if I have to deal with this headache.

Is there anyone with an 8\18 build date that hasn't leaked?!?  Mine is from Fort Wayne and 8/18 LTZ and I haven't seen it leak YET but it's only been in spray car washes.   Luckily it doesn't rain in AZ but I'm a little worried about this.     So sorry everyone has to go through this.   Good top on contacting the district GM directly!

I don’t remember seeing any here but I could be wrong. Mine was built 10/13/18. If I were to be shopping right now, the later the build the better. I probably wouldn’t touch anything that wasn’t built in the last 4 months. Easy to check the sticker on the door jamb.

Beyond ridiculous that this many have the same issue.  Anyone know what a rear window cost is?  I refuse to let them do a "caulk job" on my brand new truck with less than 100 miles on it.  Of course I'm gonna go through the process and see what they say, but to put a tube of sealer on top of a cracked window frame on a brand new truck is insane.

If you have full glass coverage with your auto insurance, go to Safelite and tell them your window frame is leaking, and do an auto glass claim. Probably won't raise your rates.

Well, I’ve entered stage one where they inspect for leaks around the spoiler, reassemble and test again. They also said the detailer is confident he can clean the headliner up.

 

I guess we will see but my gut tells me it’s actually the window and not the spoiler. 

 

And I got to thinking...I don’t remember ever opening the little power slider up until this past weekend! Just not a feature I ever used, or care to use. But I’m wondering now if having finally used that window didn’t crack the window frame somehow if it’s already a weak part?

 

I mean, I’ve gone through at least two high pressure washes a week since January and we had a very wet spring. No leaks through all of that so it seems very odd to only start now. Maybe a coincidence?

UPDATE:

 

I just got my truck back after one week in the shop.  At first glance, I can't even tell where they put the sealant.  In the process, they broke the left rear passenger side airbag trim piece tabs and had to order me a replacement.  I guess that piece has to come off for them to pull the headliner down?  The first replacement part came in broken so they had to order another one.  I have to give them props.  Very clean job!  They provided me a new truck to drive while they worked on mine, for the week.  Dealer detailed my truck for me inside and out.  Looks like it came off the showroom floor!  Perhaps it's their intent for me not to run it through a car wash for a few days!  I will this weekend!  If it leaks, back it goes.  

 

On a side note, they also did the newest software patch that supposedly fixes the rapid brake percentage decrease too!

Sounds like hopefully a happy ending! And man, you were definitely lucky to get a truck for a loaner. Most of the reason I’m pissed is because I’m stuck with this crummy Malibu for at least a couple days until they get a loaner truck returned. 1.5L and a CVT is a pretty huge downgrade, and I can’t fit any of my stuff for work in it...??‍♂️

If you can push the headliner up in the corner inside truck look for a crack in the plastic like this. That is where mine was leaking in on both sides.. that photo is behind the rear driver side headrest then go straight up to where headliner meets rear window and Push it up.6ede42394478fa48dcdaf9e694d2c092.jpg

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
