Well I picked my truck up for the last and final repair to get things right. I got the most updated window (FUYAO E4 43R-000072) It water tested and everything was water tight so far. They still had shitty looking sealant around the window, but not as bad as the hack job they did before. 

Does your frame above the slider look like the picture I posted earlier today? Straight up?

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.

My window is shown below. My Denali was built 8/19 and I took delivery a year ago this month. Window began leaking a month ago on drivers side. Took it in last week and the Dealer is waiting for bolts etc. to show up.

I think we're all misusing the part numbers. I think that's the glass number, not the entire assembly number. I may be wrong though.

Is that THE window which does not leak?  I sure as hell hope so. I just checked my 2020 AT4 built in July 2020 and that’s what it has. 

Supposedly but I think there’s been some in here that leak.

Yah - I have that E4 glass and it leaks. The incompetence is laughable.

I have 2020 GMC 3500hd Denali Ultimate with the Duramax. At 300 miles I noticed a small stream of water coming down the rear window on the drivers side. The dealership removed the spoiler and observed the hairline cracking in plastic. They applied the seam sealer per the bulletin.  A week or so later in a heavy rain the drip was still there in the same spot. The dealer than installed a new window. This new window now leaks on the passenger side worse than before. They state this window also has hairline cracks in the plastic and they need to order another new one. I am not too optimistic as my truck was built in June of this year and the replacement window was just installed. Sounds like the same flawed design will be installed another time. Really disappointed in GM and the quality in a 80k truck.

I’m hoping for a class action lawsuit at this point. TSB isn’t doing it. Can’t believe I’m dealing with this on a brand new truck too. I’d have someone else make these windows, clearly Fuyao is garbage. Which comes at little surprise.

Sorry you've had this crappy experience, like the rest of us have. 

 

I've just learned to live with my leaking rear. I took it in the first time, had the sealant applied, and it seemed to slow the occurrence of the leaks. After reading stories just like yours - where owners keep bringing their trucks in over and over for more "fixes", I just decided to put a towel between my rear window and my seat, forget about leak and move on. I can honestly say I barely think about it anymore, and I enjoy the truck again. The best part has been staying away from days/weeks messing with this at my dealer - with no end in sight. 

 

Probably not the best, but I've moved into the "acceptance" stage of grief. ?

I have always suspected something like that. I even told the dealer that since I purchased the truck I hear clicks, clunks, and thuds coming from the top rear of the cab. It happens when the truck sits hot in the sun all day and starts the noises on my ride home as the cabin cools down. Sounds like something expanding and contracting as the inside temp changes. Even my kids in the back are like what's that sound.

I had mine serviced last week they filled it with the sealant and since we’ve been getting rain here in Texas the last few days I’ve been looking it over real good and it’s not leaking but it’s only been a week. Since  it’s been serviced now I see 2 good size cracks in the plastic window frame needless to say I will be calling the dealership to get another appointment there gonna have to replace the window I didn’t spend the kind of money to have a cracked rear window also I see lots or rust on the window as well.

Kind of have to zoom in to see it. Idk why the camera has a hard time catching it looking at the window it’s plain as day.

It sucks but I think the best remedy is to ask for a solid rear window. I’ll probably do that when mine eventually leaks.

I’m thinking about asking for a solid the slider is pretty useless too me. I’ll never open it. The sealant seems to have stopped my leaking but was just done last week. But I can’t accept knowing there’s cracks in the frame just waiting to crack through and leak.

      On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      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 ?.
