A friend of ours works at the Fort Wayne plant, and I heard him mention that they had engineers there at the plant for several months trying to figure out the issue and how to fix it. I didn't ask him whether they ever think they found a fix, but based on this thread, I have to assume they never did. I will have to keep an eye on our 2020 Denali and I wish I had known about this before our purchase. :(

It would be great to know, but yea the latest builds are still having these issues, I think there was a 2021 in here with a leaking rear.  Had to be 9/20 build or later.  Let us know if you chat with him again and can get any other information.  Several months is a long time lol...

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.

Is the Trim Lok cord that others have used too large in diameter to push in around the rear window.  Was thinking of trying that instead of caulk or sealant due to the temps in PA right now.  There seems to be enough of a gar around the window to do it.

I purchased the one someone linked to on here and it didn't work for me. I was able to get it in (between edge of glass and body) but once in, the gap between the back of the glass and frame was wider than .25 inch.

I would go to their website and find one that will fit that gap. The one that the other guy linked on here was for the upper gap of the spoiler. I'm sure they have one that will fit the bigger gap of the window. Then you can go to a place like Home Depot or Levine's Auto or something and find that bigger size. Might work... Here is the link to the website of the people that make all this stuff...

Thanks Dali555.  I am going to check that out, and see if I can Amazon a slightly larger diameter size.  With a black truck I don't think it is going to stick out like a sore thumb, at least as a temporary solution.

Got my truck back after a week and a half. I’ll have to take a better look tomorrow as it was dark when I picked it up. I’ve attached a pic of the new glass numbers as well as the top of the frame and a pic of the old frame... slight difference

Nice to see some physical changes being done to address the issue. Hope it’s the fix everyone’s been waiting for.

Looks like the same series as my 06/20 build:

The frame looked to be a little thicker when I intitally looked at the OP’s pictures. No?

I guess I have been lucky. Mine is not leaking. And I live in rainy Seattle. How do you know the build date on the truck?

This is the first time I've seen the FUYAO E4's without the "wing". Historically, the FUYAO E2's did not have the wing, but the FUYAO E4's and the VIRTO E9's did. 

If that is the case, then they are mixing glass versions with frame types.  ???

Is the wing the "redesigned" part?

Interesting. My E2 has a wing but it looks different. 10/2018 build. Goes without saying that it leaks. ?D1653685-F820-4593-9F39-56ACBBE9BE4F.thumb.jpeg.e528d1203a1eecc06218cd48b0e13e8e.jpeg4C03E1EA-A17D-4558-B20C-26F9CACF3907.thumb.jpeg.ed79e7c7d109503f2a2b306be107686e.jpeg

No, the wing is my original window and the other is the new redesigned window.

      A little girl said her prayers every night before bed and she asked G d to watch after each person she loved. One night she forgot to pray for her babysitter and her babysitter died. A few days later she forgot to pray for someone else and they died. The next night she forgot to pray for her dad. The next morning her dad was terrified. A bus almost crashed into him. He almost fell off a fifty foot ladder and almost wrecked on the way home. When he arrived home, he said I had a terrible day. His wife replied, “You think you had a bad day? My aerobics teacher died during class.

      Nice! I had one here, once. The car dealer I used to haul for stopped by with it. That was over 10 years ago now. Those are SUPER rare these days, especially up here! Never even see them at car shows anymore.   https://postimg.cc/0rvcNZ1W

      I remember watching one of the auctions on TV. It just happened that they had two little red express trucks. My brother bought one new in 1979, still has it. So I hung on to watch them cross. The retro redone example brought more bids and went for more money than the original one did. My brother has redone his 3 times and raced it. He’s now in the process of making more tame for cruising.

      I always upgraded the suspension and steering components - bushings and ball joints, and had older cars that I could out-corner ANY modern car with. I used to be able to take my '78 Cutlass on off-ramps at stupid speeds and make the sharp MA corners without even squealing the tires. So much fun. My '72 El Camino must've had work done by the previous owner, since that thing seemed to handle even better than the '78.   I think the suspension & steering on the '72 was much more advanced than the '64, so that probably just made a good system even better.   I'm the same way with vehicles. I hate having to worry about the paint on my '93 W250 Cummins. I'm not used to that, lol.   https://postimg.cc/mzKr55sY

      BEAUTIFUL!! That a Cutlass F85? Or 442? My side-ID skills are lacking thanks to failing memory, lol. Love that color & year, too!   Yeah I was never big on entering my own stuff, but I always liked seeing what everyone had, the rare models, and what's been modified. That was always fun. These days I have barely enough time to do what needs to be done at home.    Oddly enough, here in MA there are more car shows than ever in history! You'd think up here it would be dead, but it's bigger than EVER!          Took the 940 for its maiden voyage with the carburetor. At first I couldn't get out of the yard! This originally had the "Bosch" system (our other 940 has Regina - single fuel pump in fuel tank, and space-age-looking ignition coil on driver's fender) - that has dual fuel pumps. One in the tank, and one under the center left of the vehicle. I had unplugged the external one thinking I wouldn't need it with the carburetor ... but the way I have the pressure regulator hooked up, 90% of the fuel volume is going back to the fuel tank, so cranked all the way down, the regulator is only supplying a hair above 3.5 PSI to the carb. Turns out the in-tank pump (15 PSI alone, instead of 45) couldn't handle the load. Plugged it back in and went for a rip. Ran great!   Throttle response is always amazing with carburetors. ZERO delay that no FI system can reproduce. Also fires up in half the crank rotations as before. Low end power was DRAMATICALLY improved. There was an ongoing lean issue with the FI that I got tired of figuring out, so this is a MASSIVE improvement! Above 50 MPH on hills it feels SUPER weak, though. This is more than likely due to the timing not being advanced enough by the computer, since it believes there are multiple failures. I can live with that through the winter. Will keep me from passing slowpokes where I shouldn't and getting speeding tickets at least. 😁
