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 your new one been leak free?!

3 weeks on FUYAO E4 and leak free so far. However, I went 9 months and 13k miles on the FUYAO E2 before it started leaking.

Is everyone getting replacement glass? Has anyone had an explanation of the repair? My dealer is stating they will reuse the same glass. 

The TSB states to caulk the window first. If it re-leaks, replace the window. 

 

Not to give you a hard time, but we have a lot of new people coming to this thread and asking the same questions that are answered in it.

 

TLDR, I get it, but if you have this problem, it would behoove you to read the 1800 posts.

My dealership told me that GM engineering informed them that the rear window were a one time use.  If the caulking job didn't work they could not reuse the old window. This was after trying to caulk the window 3 times.

UGADawgs; I agree and understand completely what you are saying. I’ve read all the posts over the past several days as I had done all my homework and was planning to purchase a new truck this month. I was shocked to find this post and if GM is following this please be aware you should do something to resolve it.  But I’m still not aware of a consistent repair method resulting in a permanent fix for this issue. Yes, as many of you fine folks say that a “quality dealership”  that knows what they are doing can/will fix it but what is that fix? Sealant or new window + frame? I’m kind of in a bind as our local dealer has a horrible reputation, extremely limited supply of vehicles so I was planning to visit Everett GMC (based on positive comments I’ve read here) which is 7 hours away. So I can’t afford to run to Everett GMC with ongoing leaking issues. So unless I’m missing something the dealer repairs are hit and miss and even with a brand new 2020 there’s still no guarantee it won’t leak. That’s a $60,000+ gamble I can’t afford to take. Please tell me I’m wrong or missing something? Thanks in advance.

You got it 100%. If I were you, I'd hold off making a purchase until GM comes clean on what went wrong and what change they made with FUYAO E4 and/or what they are doing to fix this widespread issue. This isn't some bad power steering pump or infotainment system, issue. This is a leaking window causing collateral damage and multiple return trips to dealers with half baked fixes.

GM coming clean ain’t ever gonna happen. Design changes usually happen pretty quietly, and I wouldn’t expect anything different here apart from maybe an updated TSB. 
 

I had thought about doing some “destination truck buying“ like Everrett or Laura...but doing so would have made every problem with this truck a million times worse. Thankfully I bought local. And thus have somewhat of a leg to stand on in their service department after spending 6 figures at their dealer recently.


People underestimate the value of that when they only shop the cheapest price. I wonder how many bad experiences in this thread are attributed to service by a non-purchasing dealer. I know it’s not what GM wants, but one has to imagine if the dealer doesn’t view you as a potential future customer, they might be inclined to screw you around, not give a loaner, and / or do shoddier work.

My local dealer added some urethane to my rear window last Thursday and it’s rained for the last 3 days and I haven’t seen a leak yet. They did a really good job bc it doesn’t look like they touched anything inside or outside the truck. It was kept inside to cure before they gave it back to me. They also said they’ve seen quite a few of these so hopefully they’ve got the fix down by now and I won’t have any issues going forward. I’m just gonna assume it’s fixed and keep checking it when it rains. Fingers crossed I won’t have any more issues. Just for y’all’s information my window is E9 and it was built in Mexico in 4/19.

So I finally got my truck back from where they damaged a bunch of stuff when they replaced my headliner. They're still fighting me over the gouges on the passenger a pillar. In the process of fixing things, somehow they broke a piece on my rear passenger door... what the heck?

I feel your pain. When I got mine back after two months they didn't mount the roof console all the way, the sun visor was hanging off, C pillar trim scratched, and the seat belts on backwards.

Well add me to the leaking rear sliding window. Took it in to the dealer on Monday. He confirmed cracked frame on driver side corner of the frame. Ordered a replacement on Monday and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Service Advisor said bring truck in on Monday to have it installed.

 

I will post an update on how it goes and the window part number installed.

One month leak free with my replacement FayUO E4

Mine is an E4 and it's currently leaking, my appointment was set 2 weeks out which is Monday 3/9/2020. The dealership said it would take 3 days but didn't disclose what their fix would be other than they are sending it to a glass shop. Fingers crossed that I am not going down a path of constantly driving loaners and a leaky truck.

So I got in my truck this morning... and it's leaking again. The headliner is wet on the passenger side again. 
Was yours replaced or just caulked?

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.

      when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.
