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 suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
