Just bought my 2019 LT trail boss a month ago and just passed over 1k miles. Rained this morning and saw it leaking before I went to work. Had to throw a towel back there to prevent any damage through out the day as it’s pouring all day. Scheduled service next week now.. not looking forward to it.

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 keep extra towels in those little in seat storage compartments. You never know when the next leak will happen.

Add me to the group as I have a leak in my rear window (2019 Silverado)on the driver's side as well.  Not a big leak, but a leak nonetheless.  Very frustrating.  I called the dealer but still waiting for a call back.  This is my THIRD new Chevy truck in the past 12 months as my other 2 were bought back by the dealer due to transmission issues (2018 Colorado) and a collapsed dashboard (2018 Silverado).  I guess bad luck really does happen in threes! 
Welcome. What exactly is a collapsed dash? On the brightside, it should be easier for you to get this truck fixed as I am sure they know you well at the dealership by now

Maybe if these trucks didn’t have the spoiler for GM to hide all their shoddy fixes (Attempt), they would come up with a real solution faster.  Pretty damn frustrating seeing all these new leakers almost daily here and on fb. GM kicking the can down the road does not help all of us with these trucks.  
 

My new window replacement continues to be leak free and I’m happy, but who knows if/when the window will break again. I was really hoping not to see any newer trucks with this issue. Makes me think there’s something else going on.

The dealership called today to say that the new replacement window has been installed and the leak is fixed. The truck went in on December 18. The glass was on back order which delayed the fix. I report back tomorrow after I pick it up as to how everything looks. ?

Add me to the list. Started sometime in the last week. 2019 Trail Boss LT 3/19 build from Mexico. Letting it leak until GM comes up with a fix that actually works. Very glad I leased this truck.

Are the sierras having the same issue or is this just the Silverado?

something isn’t adding up.  I just got off the phone with a senior person at GM that told me all back windows are not just back ordered - they actually have some sort of hold on them from shipping. From TAC I believe is what was said.  Waiting on mine since Nov 29 or something. At this point I don’t even know.

At this point they may as well just flex seal all the trucks. Since this isn't a safety issue, guess they'll never be forced to find a real solution and recall all these trucks.

Where do I find my build date? I would like to add my personal info after I take my leaking new truck with 130 miles on it tomorrow. 

Email [email protected] with your VIN. They can send you a full build sheet, which will include the build date.

Yes. Note the tracks on the top and bottom of the window.

      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.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.

      when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.
