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?

      On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      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 ?.
