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.

Anyone have this happen to their 2020's? 
Not yet. But Everytime it rains it is the first thing I check.

Finally got my new window in and installed. The new window looks great and doesn’t leak so far!  My old window had yellow marks on it inside, which I thought was a little strange, the new one doesn’t?  It also seems to have a bit darker color to it on the margins? The dealer had a glass company do the work and they did a great job. I can’t tell that anything was ever done to it, all the sealant was removed well and no scratches or scuffs. I had the sealant in for a couple weeks and it never leaked, but I insisted on a new window and the service manager didn’t give me any problems.
 

I hope this is behind me and wish everyone else good luck if they are still dealing with it, or have to in the future.

Great news, Mine has been ordered but I'm told is currently on back order. They said they will send it to a glass shop to be installed as well.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado rst crew cab and my rear windshield is leaking. It’s now at the dealership being repaired for the second time. My back seat cushion is holding water and has swollen so causing seams to come apart. Dealership is great and I think Chevy will do right because I gave them a chance after have 5 previous Fords with no issues.

Does anyone have a before and after shot of the old (leaking) and new (full replacement) window? 
 

someone said it had a little more yellow tint to it on the inside? Just wanting some visual cues if possible

Ok guys. I picked up my new 2019 on Halloween and Monday noticed water leaking into the cab on the top corners of my rear window. I read a good bit of this thread already.  Called the dealership on Tuesday and dropped it off Tuesday morning. I’ll keep y’all updated on their progress. Have t heard anything yet.

Ugh. I've had my Feb 2019 build RST since late March 2019. 7000 miles on it, and it's sat through a ton of super heavy rainfalls here in DFW during spring and summer. One of our wettest springs/summers of late. 

 

I had it parked backwards on our inclined driveway over night. I've not done that before. So the front was much lower than the rear. Rained very lightly last night and I came out to the truck dripping on the driver's side rear seat. 

 

I'm hoping this was only because I had it parked on a heavy incline.

 

I've had the thing through many car washes, etc. and it's never leaked before. The water was coming from the end of the slide for the power rear window.

Sorry brother, it's broken.  Take it in to be checked out.

Yeah, I've had that sinking feeling as well. Maybe after 7K miles it's finally wiggled enough to lose its seal. Ugh. 

 

I need to take it in for the seat belt recall, anyway. So I guess I might as well have them fix this and my squeaking rear brakes, too.

7k was about when mine started leaking. But yours being a later build it may very well be nothing too. Hopefully.

Yeah, here's hoping. I think I'll wait until I take it through the car wash again just to make sure. The headliner was totally dry today, and the leak was really minimal. Just a few drops of water on the top of the seat. 

 

I'm comforting myself with the fact that my dealer will have seen MANY of these by now, so they should get it fixed quickly and accurately the first time - if I do need them to repair it.

My truck was built in January of 2019.  My dealer is telling me they have never heard of this problem and don't know how long it will take to get the sealant in and make the repair.  They did do the recall on the seat belt in a timely fashion. Is this stuff hard to get or on short supply?

My 5/19 build date TrailBoss rear window leak developed over the weekend.  Wonder why it started now after 5 months and 7000 miles? Passenger side rear seat water drops all over it and back corner headliner was soaked.  
 

Anyone dealt with this issue in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.
