Just because you have water inside doesn't necessarily mean it's the rear window leaking. In my case it was the 3rd brake light housing that needed resealed. It is going on 4 months since they resealed mine and still no more leaking.

Interesting- I think you may be the ONLY one that has had GOOD luck w/ the reseal. What are the details on your truck, build date, where was water originally spotted leaking in from? @RAYS B4U

 

My headliner on passenger side has water stain (attached pic) which leads me to believe it is NOT the 3rd brake light (center) leak.

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 really need to start keeping a close eye on mine.  I have a 2/2018 build date and haven't noticed anything obvious so far, but it's usually in a ramp or garage during rain and rarely in the rain.  I'll start really checking the back after getting it washed then I guess.

a 2/18 build would mean you have a 2018 truck, these issues are on the T1 / 2019 trucks.

Yeah I guess I should pay attention to which forum I'm in.  It's still early ?

Update:  I have had the "repair" in place on my truck for almost three months.  After multiple car washes and damn near 6" of rain in the last three days here in the Panhandle of Texas, I'm happy to report that my truck hasn't leaked!  I'm hoping that I just didn't jinx it by posting this, but I wanted to share with ya'll that, in my case, the repair seems to be working...for now!  #fingerscrossed

This make me hopeful! @lebag335 Through looking into your last few posts in here- you've only had the "sealant fix" completed- not the full window replace, correct? 

 

My truck is in for service right now getting the jingle jingle (FR axle fix installed/completed) as well as my rear window leak handled.

Yes. Sealant fix only. My dealer service is great and I was clear how anal I am, so far so good! They have to do the patch before the replacement is what they told me.

Boy I hope your fix holds up. I thought I was good to go too. From April till August dry as a bone. Then washed the truck one day and drip drip was back. Keep your eye on it....good luck.. fingers crossed.

Well my replacement window is in.  My truck window was leaking with 80 miles on it, the day after I purchased it.  They did the sealant fix on it, even though I told them I didn't want that done and to call me first.  They did an ok job.  If I didn't know it was there I wouldn't notice the sealant.  I guess more importantly it hasn't leaked yet again for over a month.  We are in a drought though and it hasn't rained... at all.  I have washed the truck several times and flooded the spoiler with water and no drips.

 

Regardless I'm having the new replacement window installed.  I hope to have this truck for some time and don't want to worry about if/when the window will leak again.  Who knows, maybe by replacing it I'm taking more of a chance?  I just want the thing fixed like new, like it should have been when I bought it.  the window has cracks in the frame and the sealant is just covering those cracks.

 

The dealership is having a "glass guy" come to do the removal and install.  They know ahead of time I won't accept anything less than if it were new without a defective window.  I have my fingers crossed they will do a great job and I can be done with this whole window/water crap.  I will report back after it's completed and try to remember to post down the road good or bad.

 

Side note... I wonder how many with cloth interior have the leak and have no clue?  I wouldn't have noticed myself without the water drops sitting on top of the leather for some time.

 

Good luck to all that have this issue!

I have a 2019 crew LT Trailboss that has a build date of 7/15/19 and was built in plant G.  Is this something I need to worry about or has this occurred only in earlier built trucks.  I’ve checked every time it’s rained and so far so good.  Just wondered if this is a problem for only a certain time period of builds.  
thanks

October 2018 or before should be the only ones affected.  GM changed the window manufacturer at that time.  I wouldn't be worried about it, doesn't mean something can't happen, I just wouldn't be looking for it to leak.

Mine has build date of 11/9/18 and did have the leak FYI @WWIII

 

Been driving mine with the sealant "fix" for 5 days. Rained once- leak (from what I can see) has NOT returned.

Mines been “gooped” up for over a month now. We’ve had a ton of rain so I am starting to have faith in the ghetto repair they did.

Posted earlier.  19- trailboss. Build date  2/19.  Window leaked two weeks ago bad on both sides.  Dealer sealed top and actually did a good job.  Well, today we got heavy rain and it still leaks and from what I’m told there is trucks with build dates past 11/18 that have seen this issue from GM using old stock windows. 

Body shop guy actually tracked me down a new window within 20 minutes. He said one of only two left because of strike.  New window hopefully next week and no more water.   I also stressed before first repair and reminded him to tell glass guy that  I paid a lot of money for this truck and I would appreciate extra care to prevent scratches.  Good luck to you other guys.

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
