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.

Has anyone that has the leak, decided to just deal with it for the time being, in the hopes that GM comes up with a better fix in time? I have a 2019 Sierra and just noticed the first sign of a leak today while hand washing my truck. I use a pressure washer and I’m not shy about using it around the spoiler. There was just a single small trail of water on the inside glass corner. Pretty minimal considering the pressure washer. I’ve never noticed any leaks during normal rain (and I check often). So I’m thinking I may just wait and see what develops from a fix perspective. I’m in Sacramento California so don’t get heavy rain anyway, plus the winter season is almost over.


I thought about waiting with mine too, small leak was just in two spots but wound up taking it in and letting them seal the top of the glass before it got worse and was needing a headliner, wet carpet etc. I pick it up on Monday and we’ll see if that was the right decision or not.

I’m doing that, basically. But not because I’m waiting GM out for a better solution. Mainly because my schedule isn’t that flexible, and I’m not in a hurry to keep going in this circus process GM puts us in with local dealers. 
 

I noticed mine leaking early November. Took it in and got it resealed late December. Leaking again early January, and then the headliner stain showed up for the first time. 
 

My carpet isn’t wet, the headliner is not staining any worse, and I have a towel against the window to keep the moisture from collecting. 
 

All that said, I’m not anxious trying to get this fixed. I figure the more time that goes by, the more the dealers will have an understanding of how to ACTUALLY fix this. 
 

This thread alone is proof of what I just mentioned. In early Nov when I posted my leak, I think there were 40-50 pages here after almost a YEAR of the thread being on here. 
 

In just 3 months, the thread has about tripled. Why? Because all us T1 owners are finally starting to see the leaks. So... a couple more weeks ain’t going to kill me to wait.

I’m in the exact same boat. I was at the dealer earlier this week for a separate electronic issue and the scratched the outside of my drivers door to the metal. I don’t really trust them to not make it any worse. That being said if I was closer to my warranty period being done I would be getting it fixed. 

 

Also so asked if they had seen many leaks and they said they hadn’t heard of any....

Do you have a picture of the model of the window they recently put in that leaked? E2 or E4? also be interested to know if the new window is leaking due to poor install or cracking in same spots.

What are these E2 and E-4 codes? And where to find them?

Yours looks like a solid window and not a slider.

Nope it’s a slider.  No leaks yet.  I hope that e9 means it’s a newer design

oh wow. Now I'm wondering if all the spare E4's they are installing are no good. Again, we need someone to get GM on record with what the hell is going on here. not much consumer confidence.

Also, does anyone know where these go? They were left on the roof of my truck after the install.

 

Hoping its old hardware from the damaged window and that they were replaced lol

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
