So in the process of replacing my headliner because of water staining from the rear window leak, I now have a leak from my front window... Apparently the front windshield had to be removed to replace the headliner. Oh, and my rear window is leaking AGAIN!!! My dealership has tried to reseal the original window, then the entire rear window was replaced, then the new rear window was resealed, and now I've discovered the leak yet again. I'll be calling back my Chevy corporate rep tomorrow, and possibly a SC lemon law lawyer depending on how the conversation with Chevy goes...74c0daecf705bbc99c6a290a05c065a3.jpg

I just got mine back from the second attempt to fix the rear window, which appears to be holding, but now had the same footwell puddle you do after rain last night. Have they fixed this for you yet? Would love to provide some suggested fixes to my dealer since it wasn't right the first time.

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.

In the same day it was discovered they had the glass company come back and try to reseal it, which also didn't work. Last week I took it back to the dealership for them to take a look at it and see if it were anything simple like the sunroof drain being undone, but it wasn't... They have ordered me a brand new windshield and seals that should be in, just waiting on the glass company to call and arrange a time to install. In the meantime my claim with the BBB autoline had been approved to go forward, so hoping to be done with this truck in the next few weeks or months...

2019 RST with sliding window, February 2019 build. I have been dreading this day.

I’m way too meticulous the repair process is going to drive me nuts. Between the sealant everywhere, scratches, dents, finger prints, scratched panels. I might just trade the truck in. Worst part is I only owe $10k,

Not sure what I would get on a trade in.

Just wanted to update everyone, my truck was leaking on the drivers side. I caught it very early and it never even reached the headliner. I called my dealership and they had a company called the Water Doctors do the repair, as they said no one at their dealership had the expertise to perform this fix (after reading everything here I was glad to hear that). Since I've had it back it's rained a bunch and I've hit it with a pressure washer to test and it's been leak free for going on two months now. I feel like if the right person does the job this is an easy fix.

Couldn’t agree more. I would venture to bet almost all of the rear windows (that don’t have cracks in the frame) could be fixed with the seam sealant, the techs are just too lazy to to lay a decent seam down without voids in it, and actually seal the spoiler properly.

It’s a shame these dealers are so pitiful at such a simple fix.

Ive always wondered this myself. Ever since my window was replaced , it has been problem free. My dealer works with an auto glass company that is contracted out.

 

Im wondering if some dealers just have the techs do the replacement.

Figured I’d report back in to ease some worries. I had my window replaced over two months ago. The dealership sent my truck to their glass/collision division and they replaced the window. All is good. No leaks. They did a great job. Seems like anything in life, need the right people doing the job.

Well I dropped my truck off this morning so lets see how well they can “fix” my truck.

 

Has anyone had any success after a repair? Just out if curiosity 

Got mine back a week ago and it’s rained every day and washed it today and no leak so far.. dealer performed the TSB . I don’t really want a new window because they would need to take my truck apart

I got my truck back two weeks ago.  The dealer fixed the leak, replaced the carpet and headliner.  Not a scratch, ding, finger print or a rattle.  I am very happy with this dealer.

Mind sharing what dealer it was for those that might be in your area?

Would you believe it’s been over 8 months and the original caulk fix is still holding?! Had 5” of rain over the past couple days, got a little nervous but all is well.
 

As others have said, a lasting repair can be had if the person doing the work is somewhat competent. I think that’s a lot of the frustration here. And why this thread is so many pages. GM and the dealers making it way harder on themselves.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
