Rear window leak

So basically, if you have a sliding rear window, it’s gonna leak. 
I would have to say odds are the slider will leak. I have to agree with the posts above you have to wonder how many trucks are leaking where owners have no clue.

Since finding my leak yesterday everytime I saw a T1 on the road I think "I wonder if that truck leaks too and if so is the owner aware of it?".

I really love my truck but the fact that this issue is still ongoing is completely pathetic.

Sad to think as long as I own this truck and it has a slider every time it rains I will have to check for leaks.

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.

The windshield in my 2019 Yukon also leaked near the top passenger side headliner.  The dealer had a glass company come and they said that the factory urethane was applied improperly.  Then after that, the rain sensor for the windshield wipers didn't work.  But that too was then replaced under warranty.

Update after sealing the top spoiler gap:

 

Got some rain this weekend.  Truck was out for a few hours. No leak. 
 

Will continue to monitor and report back.

If I buy a 2021 Denali, I’ll probably just seal the top spoiler gap myself using the Kent High-Tech Seam Sealer in Clear, part no. P10200 (5 oz.), as recommended in the GM TSB from January 2020.

Oof. Glad I found this thread. I kinda don't care about having the slider, but I like the truck. Tough one.

Without reading through the entire 179 pages, its confirmed this is still an issue on 2021s correct?

Someone mentioned a few pages back about a new style window  frame, but time has not proven it to be a solution.

 

Rumor has it that GM has now deemed the T1 platform leakage problem to indeed be in the "rocket science" category and have requested help from NASA and JPL.

Just got the call from the dealership that GM is sending a replacement window to be installed by an independent glass company.  Should be done this afternoon or tomorrow.  I will post which style window it is when I pick it up.  My confidence isn't high that this will resolve the issue for good, but still keeping my fingers crossed.

I just had the latest part number glass put in mine yesterday.  The glass has went through 3 part number changes. Took a month and a half for it to come in.  So we will see what happens.

Would you be able to post the part number just to confirm which the latest is?  I read through a bunch of posts and between the different part numbers and the change in the style of plastic I couldn't decipher which was actually the latest.

DOES anybody with a rear slider have one that hasn't leaked from the factory? 

So far so good. 2020 Trail Boss LT built 6/20 in Mexico.

 

Now that I've said something watch me report back with a leak. First thing first, though. I need some rain. It doesn't rain much in San Diego.

2020 AT4 no leaks yet but hasn't been cold to make the plastic brittle.  I am waiting for the inevitable.  GM is a bunch of incompetent idiots.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By newdude · Posted

      Survey says yes based on the first engine to be released for the Gen 6 engines, the LS6 in the 2027 Corvette.   LS6 has DFM.  Lifter QC and construction has been improved (better/larger locking pin).  Bottom end has dual oiling circuits instead of one like on the gen Vs.     The internet (i.e. Facebook) sleuths saw that patent for a rocker arm cylinder deactivation on a pushrod engine and is running wild that all of the Gen 6s will have this when so far...none do.     Service manual, parts catalog, etc. on the LS6, its got 16 active lifters and has DFM.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      I toggled my updates off a couple of years back. Since I don't have any CEL activity and the truck runs fine I'm happy to refrain from rolling the dice. I figure they've got it as good as it's gonna get. Recalls are another matter and I will strongly consider those if I get a notice in the mail.

      We'll know soon. But at the end of the day they'll likely not take owner aggravation and costs into consideration. Probably the most important factor to them will be bottom line, along with units sold. Did they make money off sales of AFM/DFM-equipped vehicles? If yes, and the margin was large enough in spite of warranty and recall costs, I don't know that they will consider much else. Aside from government involvement of course, as in EPA and other regulatory bodies.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.
