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???

I wonder if plumbers putty or silicone caulking would work?

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.

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!

Totally feel you pain.  I am a 8/20 build too, so far my valve springs are good (1700 miles) but my rear window leaks as well, and my battery has had to be replaced.  

 

This is the exact reason I haven't had my local dealer attempt to fix this.  I really don't get why these windows all leak lol Its just so unacceptable  IMHO

I live in western Washington and it rains here a lot. I had a trans leak and when at the dealer I asked about this. He said they had never had one come in for that. He didn't even know about the problem.

Just rained in San Diego for the first time since April, or so I've been told since I moved here in December. Decided to take the opportunity to see if I had a leak. None so far, but will check again tomorrow since it'll be raining through tomorrow night.

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.[emoji1787][emoji1787]

Maybe some of us can actually comprehend what we read. This isn't the first time you've ran off in left field when the ball went right down the middle.

Took my 2020 to the dealer on Friday for the leak on the passenger side.  Its supposedly their first.  No cracks were found on the slider frame.  Having the headliner, spoiler removed to apply sealant.  Will see if it works.

Let's us know if you can where the dealer put sealant on the spoiler?  Straight across the top gap or around each bolt hole?

Leak is only at the window frame.  Spoiler has to come off to get to the window for sealant application.  I'll ask though on what they did exactly, hopefully tomorrow and let you know.

I'd wager good money that it is cracked just like all the others in this thread.

I'm lucky, If you can call it that, I live in a dry place.  Such a shame that these vehicles are leaking.  Seems like such an avoidable problem.  You can watch the robots sealing seams and installing glass at the factory online.  Somehow there's a glitch in the assembly line that GM isn't addressing.  My $250 GMC that was my first vehicle had holes in the floor but was still water tight, unless you ran over a puddle.

Well I have been waiting a month for the replacement window to come in. I'm losing faith in GMC. I will let you know how it turns out. I have a bad feeling there will not be a happy ending to this story...

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      It is a company truck. Not under warranty. Both companies I’m involved with usually buy trucks that are discounted when looking. Except what the owners drive. Being retired and minority owner. I don’t drive a company truck. If they have the new GM gas engine it would be in a service truck.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Update!   Had the dealer look at the issue. First tech says no problem?? I said there was no voltage on the brake terminal on the 7 pin connector! He said he did not know what pin I was talking about. So they bring out a seasoned tech and I explain to him. He attaches a VOM and has me push the brake, and sees no voltage!!    Tom, the seasoned guy says lets go back to my service bay and look closer. We discover thru his on line system that the controller is a "smart controller" as it needs to detect a trailer connected before the brake voltage is allowed to the 7 pin connector!!! He also showed me a GM bulletin stating some trailers with LED lights have such low resistance the controller wont recognize them!!! I was thinking WTF, but thanked him for bringing me back into the service bay and explaining this all to me. He also plugged in a trailer simulator and it showed the brake controller was indeed working.   After my dealership visit I hooked up to an older camper with standard 1157 lights and the truck did connect and the electric brakes worked great!    Not to sure what I have to do with the equipment trailer with LED lights, I cant tow it with no brakes.   Why did something so simple for many years have to get so complicated!

      Do find out as that would be interesting if they have been using any L8T engines or for that matter have been running any of the Ford gas 7.3 to see how they have been panning out.    I assume your nephews engine replacement was on his dime as the regular warranty would have long past unless he had some form of extended warranty that covered such events. That shows though and may depend on the year of the build that failures are occurring with the valve train well beyond the warranty distance and more than likely so will others have that sneak up on them.

      I realize this is an old post and its probably been talked about since then on this forum and I may have mentioned it myself but the Chev multi flex tailgate on the HD trucks are all aluminum so there is that one item that I am aware of on a current GM HD truck that is aluminum but if its the standard tailgate then its still a steel unit as far as I am aware to current 2026 model year.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am surprised it didn't pop back up some just in time for the end of school/summer holidays and July 4th time period. Here in Alberta it hit its low coming off the high back a week before the end of June or so and has been creeping back up some and would equate roughly to around 20 cents per gallon increase. Of course there are various factors and one is the games they typically play with wanting to capture that holiday vehicle movement but also our government directly causing our Canadian dollar to drop ( a polite way of explaining the real picture ) causing our prices to go up rather than continue down like it should have, and even though we are sitting on the crude.
