If you have a rear slider it’s only a matter of time.... [emoji3061]

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.

Yea well, I didn’t spend the money on my truck tht I did for it to jus forget about it! So if it does, I will make sure it gets squared away one way or another!

Interesting story;  I took my truck in for its first service this morning and while visiting with the Service Adviser I asked what their process was for repairing the leaking back windows on the Silverados, not that I wanted them to do it this morning but because I wanted to know how they were handling the issue.  To my surprise I was advised that they were not familiar with that problem!  This is the top selling Chevy dealer in Kansas and I would estimate they sell hundreds if not thousands of Silverados every year!! 

 

I expressed my surprise and shared that on the largest GMC/Chevy - Silverado/Sierra forum there are hundreds of pages pages about this issue....so there must be a plethora of active claims on it across the country, right??

 

Anyway, for now I am not going to have them experiment on me with a band-aid fix, I'll wait as long as I can... or until Chevy recognizes the issue and comes up with a responsible and effective correction to this problem!

 

Needless to say I'm concerned!

Well I though I might have got lucky with mine and got one that didn't leak. 2019 Sierra Elevation. Build date 7/19. I have had this truck for almost a year and yesterday it started to leak. After raining most of the day I saw a puddle on top of the seat. Not looking forward to this repair.

I wonder if local climate has anything to do with it. Hot days and cold nights might cause too much flex? I know it isn’t because they’re being taken off road [emoji23][emoji23]

My 2019 AT4 build date 6/19 Fuyao E2 has been parked in my garage since new but after reading this post, I checked it in July and found it to be leaking. I've been driving around with a towel in the back window since then waiting for the dealer to get more experienced with the repair. I finally went to the dealer on a rainy day last week and the service advisor saw the leak on both sides and started to write it up. I questioned the repair and the service manager was consulted and he referred me to their body shop. I made an appointment with the body shop manager who stated they have done one repair to date but had to order the updated spoiler mount nuts. He called me back a while later to postpone the repair as there is no supply for the replacement nuts Canada wide. He said it could be weeks or months before they can get them from GM. Very disappointing.

I asked this awhile back and people keep saying no way but I think this is part of it. It really ramped up last winter when the plastic surrounding the window is brittle.

All these sliders will leak at some point. Prove me wrong. [emoji6]
What's the time frame alloted for this. Your prediction makes you sound like a telephone psychic.

Well it's been about 7 months since I had my 2019 rear window leak repaired.   It was a painful process and I am very hesitant to put it in a high pressure wash, but no leaks YET.   It's been in the rain 2 or 3 times, a quarter car wash with the high pressure wand 4 or 5 times as well as 1 high pressure automated (no touch) wash.   Nothing...    

I took it to a new dealer the other day for some software updates etc and asked how many they repaired.   The guy wasn't shy, he said they were doing several a week and had a wait time around a month - three months on some of theirs.  He said the key was learning how to apply the new gasket for the spoiler \ light.  He said they really didn't replace many of the sliding windows.   I'm sorry so many are going through this still but eventually they get it right.  Don't hold your breath on them doing anything for you as far as compensation, I tried.

You can get an AT4 without the slider...just have to order a basic one without the “Preferred” or “Premium” packages. Denali, no.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
