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.

Thanks, I will take a look.

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.

Guess they found those cracks in the window frame and are putting the goop on it tomorrow. Going off of other’s experiences here I might as well make an appointment in advance to have it fixed again. ?

 

Thankfully they have a touchless wash right on their lot so I will run it through before I even leave.

 

Really unfortunate that they have to do this crap before GM will authorize a window. Get the feeling they don’t value anyone’s time. Not the dealer’s and especially not the owner’s.

I remember my dads 81' F150 leaking from the quarter window and watching it trickle down the door onto the rubber floor and not effecting anything. These new trucks are disasters waiting to happen in so many ways.

Disaster?

I would soak it with a garden hose for about 20 minutes when you get home. All different angles. Even from up top. Get lots of water in the third brake spoiler.

Well, I have it back temporarily and what a mess they made. I just feel sick about the whole thing.

 

Dirty fingerprint marks all over the thing. The stuff around the dome light is really disgusting. The also put pry marks in a couple pieces of trim, scratched up the windshield with the A pillar trim and broke my rear view mirror, which mysteriously now wiggles up and down about an inch. What the hell man. All of this and it might still leak, and you can still see the faint waterline where the window leaked onto it...going back next week and emailing these to their service manager.

Am I being unreasonable here? I mean I keep the thing in perfect condition and get it back like this...

I don’t feel you’re being unreasonable. You paid good money for a working & non-leaking truck with a limited warranty. They screwed shit up while working on it. On them to fix or replace it.

 

I’d try some Folex (Lowe’s) on the grease spots left on anything that’s fabric (test a small spot) if you have to do it yourself.

I don't think you're being unreasonable. You should never get your vehicle back in worse condition than you gave it to them.

 

I had a similar experience when my window was being fixed...they gouged/scratched the interior kick panel taking the back seats in and out. Had some  scratches around the back window where it was removed and found 2 screws rolling around the back seat.

 

Thankfully my dealer made it right. 

 

Unfortunately, my truck still leaks. Just dropped it off at the dealer yesterday...again...for the fourth time.

That’s terrible. Not unreasonable to expect it back In the same condition as you left it with them at all. 

I hope they make it right, and quickly.

So I have a 2019 trail boss I purchased within the last month.  Should I be keeping an eye out for mine to be leaking?  Is this an issue with a portion of the newer 2019’s that came out?  Is this isolated to a small batch of trucks or what?  

 

I absolutely hate taking my truck to the dealer and it makes me sick seeing what you guys are going through.

Just check your build date. It’s on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb. On or before 10/2018 could mean trouble for the back window.

 

I don’t want to say it’s a guarantee, but between here and the Facebook group, I’ve seen probably hundreds of people with the problem. And that’s just in the really small sample of enthusiasts who care enough to join a group or forum and post online; probably much less than 1% of buyers. You do the math, but to me it seems the majority of the early builds leak or will leak. Mine took 8 months of ownership. Others drove it off the lot and found a leak the next day.

 

Also, if it was truly just a small batch, GM probably would replace the window rather than put a ton of loyal customers through hell with their jury rig sealant job. But they know they can’t afford 10s of 1000s of window replacements, nor could they supply that many replacement parts easily. Just my 2 cents.

 After having this repair done, I finally was able to run the truck through a car wash this weekend. Good news! No leaks! I’m not sure how long it will last, however; this is a good thing at least for today.

Drop mine off for a rear window tonight. Also they greasy fingerprints that were all over the headliner, the dealer detail shop was able to remove them by cleaning it.

Is there any one with a build date before 10/18 that HASN'T had the problem?

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
