Just a poor design. I personally think if it was an easy fix they would have solved it for the 2020 model year. We’ll see about 2021 I guess.

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.

“Barely raining” is usually the worst for some reason.

Yes, this. Mine barely leaks when it rains hard. ??‍♂️

What was the final outcome of this issue.  I have a very very slight leak on the top drive side.  it pour last night and not enough to get everything wet but enough that there is moister in there.  what is the best fix and did it hold up.  2020 at4

I picked mine back up today.

New seal and spoiler bolts are on-order. ETA mid-week next week. (high demand, go figure)

There was another truck at the dealer with the same issue. 

 

If this recurs, or doesn't stop, I am pursuing the solid rear window option.

That's why they made it a convertable/t-tops, they expected it to get wet.

Are you talking about the truck frame or the window frame? If the truck frame is cracked you'll have bigger problems than a leaking window.

Why would you think he's talking about a truck frame crack?

 

I'm fairly certain he was obvious with "a crack in the frame of the sliding window".

 

Maybe he should just replace the cam instead.??

Update on the rubber cord idea. The gap is not consistent all the way across and the rubber cord is firmer than I expected. I haven’t had a chance to try and soften the rubber up to get it to fit all the way across. Maybe someone else has some ideas on a softer weather stripping/ cord to fit in the gap???

Add a 2020 AT4 with a build date of 8/20 to the list. Just got the truck back yesterday from having the valve springs replaced, now the rear window is leaking. I thought buying the 2020 I wouldn’t have these issues, haven’t even made a payment yet. Back to the dealership tomorrow!

Update got the window sealed and it turned out Sh.t, big blobs on both sides. Dealer tried to cut it out, made it worse. They are ordering a new rear window and having it replaced at Safelite, hopefully they  do a better job. Rear seats and head liner have to removed, so excited to have a brand new truck tore apart again!

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
