Well, I wish good news. Ha! Had rear window leak repaired with clear silicone beads-3 of them at 8k and now at 8980 miles window is leaking again... so done with this truck. Hopefully my buyout will be approved by EOW. This is not just not because of window leaking, many more issues..

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.

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.

Yeah, I don’t buy the shark fin cause of the rear window leak at all. Sounds like Chevy dealer intergalactic logic to me.

Just lost for words that any shop would call that an acceptable fix let alone a gm dealership and this on a brand new truck.  Shame on the technicians and service manager for even handing back the keys like that, really i have to ask because i know we have some gm techs on this website but really how do you even stomach tsb's telling you to do @##@ work like this?

I will preface this with my truck is currently at the dealer for this but was wondering, has anyone tried to remedy this themselves with the sealant? I thought about buying the Kent sealant in the TSB and getting a 90 degree caulk tip and trying to seal it where it's leaking myself. Mine is in two very small spots, no headliner damage. Rather than having the techs destroy the headliner and introduce more leaks through the spoiler. 

 

I took it in just because I would rather have them not try to tell my that by doing it myself they won't cover it under warranty, but was curious regardless.

Yeah i would almost guarantee you that if they found out you had touched it they would void any future claims regarding that issue. I would agree with you to not take that chance.

Day 21 - Still waiting to get mine back, hoping for this week.  All i got was a seal and a new headliner so far.

Just picked up my truck, and from what i can see, looks like the dealer/window installer did a good job. Headliner and trim pieces look good.

 

The part number of my new window is the FAYUO 43R-000072. The same that other members have received.

 

So time will tell if this window leaks as well and as always will keep everyone posted

Went in today for them to replace the two pillar panels that got scratched to hell. Looks back to new. Also had them fix the middle seat belt anchor the first tech twisted up into a knot. They also did the second brake BCM reflash recall to fix the bad one applied in December. Truck almost feels whole again. But I'm having PTSD waiting to see if the replacement window will leak or not.

Looks like my adventure has started back up. We have had a lot of rain the past couple of days. I checked on my window which was replaced last week. I could not see any evidence of it leaking. Everything looked good. Just out of curiosity I decided to check under the carpet just inside the rear door on the drivers side. The first place I had discovered wet carpet a couple of months ago.  And guess what? It is wet. So call to the dealership and call to GMC. I'll keep you guys posted. Dammit!

Wow .... I'm so sorry!!!!    Please keep us updated.  I"m nervous to get mine this week.  I'm going to check the carpet and look for rust like others have stated.  

 

Thanks for the info!

The same number others have been posting on their new windows.43R-000072. I just did further research and found a little water in the track that the window slides in. Nice!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
