Interesting because 43R-00072 is what I have in my window right now as a replacement

Sorry I had them reversed, I edited the post. My new window is 43R-000072  Same as yours. Is your new window leak free so far?

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.

so far leak free - just had a raging 8 hr rain yesterday so i'm hopeful that this will be the end of discussion. I have been assured as such. But honestly, I was leak free with the other ones for 6 months so we will see if this one lasts that long too. I can't really tell much difference from the inside to see if they beefed anything up or not.

Could these numbers on the window be lot numbers rather than model numbers? My window that is currently leaking has different numbers than the ones posted in this thread.

That is a Vitro window (different manufacture). Both of my windows were FAYUO. I don't know if anyone on this thread can explain the difference between the two manufacturer companies. I suspect they started with one, changed suppliers, and then changed part numbers again. But who knows??

I just know the most up to date part number they are telling me is FAYUO 43R-000072

Thank you for the clarification. Im interested to know what the possible changes/differences are as well

I owned my 2/2019 build RST for 8 months before it started leaking. It sat through intense spring rainfall here in North TX, and went through the automatic car wash 5-7 times at least without leaking. Then, one day when it was just a slow, steady rain, I first noticed it. 

 

As I've said many times in this thread, it's not a matter of IF, but when. Just keep your eye out. You don't have to break your neck watching for it, but check from time to time. ?? 

Yeah I'll keep my eye out for sure, like others have said it's just strange they can't come up with a permanent fix. My last Silverado had the shake so bad, which is what made me trade it in after 4 years. I really hope this one doesn't have another problem that can't seem to be fixed as well.

Kitty runs a good operation. My wife brings here Subaru there and the guy that works next to me whose window hasn't leaked yet got his truck at Van Bortel in Macedon.

I am trading in my travel trailer for a new bigger one in two weeks. So I will be hooking up a 5,000 lb trailer and jackknifing it up my steep driveway in reverse probably multiple times to get the right angle. This should put an incredible amount of flex and twist in the frame and cab of my truck. I will then head straight to the carwash to see if my brand new window suddenly starts leaking

Crazy question...has anyone else considered changing the rear window to solid glass?  I have the thought in my head because 1) It seems inevitable that it WILL leak and I don't want the dealership's hands on my headliner, spoiler, trim, etc. and 2) I never wanted the option but convenience group II had other stuff I wanted.

No. That would be dumb. Just buy a can of as seen on TV flex seal and sleep like a baby.469464b210b1ae28d7f0e354d4155037.jpg

Costco gives you a free case of flex seal if you buy a Silverado with their autobuy program. Just a heads up.

Haven’t been following along too close here lately, other than seeing more and more guys joining the leak club unfortunately. Just thought that I would do an update on my truck and window. The truck is still bone dry. I guess it’s been around 4-5 months since they replaced the entire window. It rains a ton where I live and I’ve pressure washed it several times, even had a little snow. No drips, no leaks, so far so good. My window part number is FAYUO 43R-000072.

This is from a Facebook post, just curious if there’s any relation

 

“Related: today I took my 19 LTZ for the brake, etc recalls. Shootin the $hit with the service writer and he asks how is everything. I say great other than the leak they fixed. He said they are seeing lots “with the antenna leak”. Huh? He said only a few with the window but more with the antenna. News to me.”

 

So if they know about a problem with the shark fin leaking , all these window replacement might be in vain, couldnt the water run down a channel or along a rail, and drip out down back window or back of headliner

The shark fin was a big source of leaks on the previous generation trucks, but when it did leak, it would be wet exactly where you’d expect it. Front half of the headliner, up to and near the A-pillar. 


Hard to dispute on the T1s that the window (and cab spoiler to a lesser extent) is causing the leak. Especially when the cracks in the window frame are plainly visible and the leak goes away when you caulk them.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
