For all you guys that have been posting recently (after page 80 or so....) Can you all post your build dates and model years as well? I (and my lawyer) who monitors this page would like to keep track of how bad the problem is (is it continuing into the 2020 model year.) I think it will help us all eventually. I know some people have said they have a 2020 leaking, and I know there's even a couple 2500 2020's leaking too.

2019 Sierra SLT. Built in Mexico 07/2019. Discovered window leak beginning of 02/20.

 

Entire window assembly has been replaced with the new updated window part number. Keeping a constant eye for any new leaks

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.

Picked up my '19 LTZ Z71 yesterday from dealer for recalls and rear window leak.  They told me it was the spoiler but when I picked it up I ended up with a shitty sealer job along the top of the rear window.  They couldn't get the water stain out of the headliner so they have one on back order for me. 

 

What do you guys recommend as the correct remedy for the crummy sealer job?  Can they properly correct it? Can the sealer be removed?  Or do they need to replace the rear window?  I assume taking out the rear window puts the window frame at risk of cracking (if it hasn't already).  Should I demand a new rear window when they do the headliner?  Appreciate any input.

At the point some of you guys are at i would fix it with a brick through the back window.:P

 

On a serious note, it sounds to me like your dealer is not all that good, talk to your service manager and if he finds the job you find unacceptable, well acceptable. Then my advice would be to go find another dealer to work with and yes a new window replacement is what i would be demanding for the simply fact it takes that work out of the hands of the dealer oil change tech's, as i believe a glass place would have to be used for install. Most likely the real reason gm is trying to fix this problem with bubble gum.

2020 Silverado LT Trail Boss.  September 2019 build (Mexico).  Purchased on 10 January 2020 and the leak showed up one month later right around 1,000 miles.

I've also got the leak on a 2019 AT4.  Took it to the dealer on Monday for recalls as well as the window leak.  The window is on back order so they had me pick my truck up while we wait for the window.  It's winter with no precipitation in the forecast so I'm fine there.  They have their glass department remove and install a new window.  Hopefully I'm good to go once they get the new window installed.  Side note - I did not have any damage to the headliner or floor.  Leak must not be as bad as others.  Also the headliner is black so it wouldn't show like a gray one would.

Some new windows are leaking as well. I drove mine about 25 miles before i discovered it leaking again. Currently waiting on another window. And I did have the new model window installed the first time around by a glass expert.

Apparently he wasn’t an expert...

You are correct. I guess if he were an expert the glass would not leak. Same skill level as the robot that installed my window the first time on the assembly line. I should have said, installed by a glass company in town that has a very good reputation.

Update on my truck today after spending another 3 days at the dealership. Apparently SafeLite resealed my replacement rear window again today. When asked if they saw anything noticably wrong with the rear window or if they were just blindly resealing, the advisor basically told me they were blindly resealing it... Needless to say I'm not real confident in the "fix" and formally filed a complaint with Chevy to see what my options were. I believe I owe less on the truck than I could get at trade in, but we'll see...

Someone on the Facebook group joined the rear window leak club at 42,000 miles on a denali. Now to pay for a window caulk job outside of warranty. THAT really blows twice as hard498a7a682d27968cf54ee56c1cda4e00.jpg

You can add me to the club. 2019 RST 4/19 build date with ~15,000 miles. Taking my truck to the dealership tomorrow. Took a bunch of pictures today so if something looks bad when they finish I can show them and ask them to fix it. Absolutely love this truck except for the leak.

At that point i would be trading it in, taking a loss, and never looking at gm again. Yes most dealers will tell you to pound sand once you are past that 36k, it will take years of fighting like the brake booster issue and how many were out a grand plus fixing that flawed part.

Okay fellows, I got a new one for you, have not heard this until I just got a phone call from the dealership. My truck is sitting at the dealership after finding water pooling up in the sliding glass track, after just an easy hand wash, enough to completey soak a heavy duty paper towel. This was a couple of days after my new window was installed. The service manager just called and said, yes, you are correct there is water coming in at that area, but it is going no further and is draining back out. He said he did several water tests on my truck,  tested several others  in the service department and a couple of new ones sitting on the lot. all of them did the same thing. He has done a Field Product Report and submitted it to GMC. He still could not explain how my carpet got wet, but assured me my carpet was dry after all the testing. So, I asked him, what do I do now? Come get it and hope for the best? And of course his answer was yes. Not feeling very confident, but I am very close to lemon law in my state and have my lawyer ready to roll if I hit the requirements. Stay tuned.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
