It doesn’t seem to matter where it was produced.  Mine leaked and it is US built.

Good to know, thanks!

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.

Noticed mine was leaking a little a couple weeks ago, so I dropped it off and they said it was fixed.  Well after washing my truck yesterday noticed the headliner was very wet on both sides of the truck, so obviously not fixed.  Large spots about the size of a plate on each side.  Any idea where the leak is coming from, is it the spoiler?

If you push up the headliner , I bet you can see some type of a crack in the corners. More than likely your in for a new window the next time you go in

I am on my 3rd window on my 2018. The slider leaks where it meets the stationary pane. I was recently told taking it thru a car wash could be the problem.  I said thats not an acceptable answer. Looks like they have had problems for years and still have. I'm going to keep going back until its fixed. Be leaking since it had 4000 miles on it

The 19s And 20s have a completely different problem ours do not leak at the slider it is coming from the top of the entire width of the window not just the slider... and my f150 would have a few drops in the cab from a high pressure car wash only.. nothing like what we are experiencing

It’s coming from the top of the back glass because for some reason the plastic frame develops hairline cracks and allows water in .. just got mine back yesterday

Interesting that the write up is specific to the sliding windows. I’m still curious on the solid windows and if GM even has a write up on it. So far good but I’m dreading the day I look up and see it wet.

I feel the exact same way my friend! One more leak and I’m taking a loss and going to RAM

I did go in my settings and shut off the automatic rear defroster feature.. maybe it gets the plastic hot causing it to crack. Just pure speculation of course

Really!! WTF

I would say it’s not anything like GMs problem. The 2019 rams did have an issue with leaking rear windows, and drain plugs not installed correctly for the panoramic sunroofs. But just from scouring all the ram forums the past couple weeks, the amount of complaints is nothing compared to this forum. They came out with a new window, which all the 2020s have and apparently it’s fixed the issue completely and honestly I haven’t seen one complaint for the 20’s

I really like my trail boss .. I can deal with a few minor issues but water leaking in my interior is where I draw the line.. if it leaks again I’m going 2020 rebel or 2020 F250

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
