Wow sorry to hear. Mine’s been at the dealer since Dec.16th. You and a few others mentioned trim lok, can you provide a link which piece you are ordering? I’m also wondering how good a job will be done with mine. 

Search Trim-lok on Amazon... it’s where I got it. I ordered 1/4” tube and 3/8” tube... it’s just the round core tubing... see pic

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.

This really sucks. My 03 2500HD with almost 300,000 miles doesn't leak. I would expect it from that. It was leaking on the front passenger floor in extreme rain. Turned out the drain in the bottom of the left fender was plugged. It filled up to the HVAC system. I cleaned it out and no more leak. Good thing since it has no space in the garage now. So it goes in the RV shed with the RV and the Jhon Deere. The Jhon Deere has to be in the middle as it will go past the trailer tongue. It's the only way everything fits and the door will close. So I tend to leave the truck outside when the tractor is being used. It's also not a push the button door. So if I will be using it again the next day it's easier to leave it out. I normally don't leave any vehicles outside. But it is fenced and gated rural property and if it is up by the garage you can't see it from the street. So I think it's pretty safe. And it is right under a security camera.

Big test tomorrow. Leak was sealed at dealer using a glass company last week and it's actuality supposed to rain in SoCal Sunday and Monday.

Guess who is going back to the dealer for a second round of Fix the Leak. 

 

Called another dealer in the area, Hardin Buick GMC, and they said they had never heard of the issue with leaking window. Was told since Tustin Buck GMC attempted to fix it once, I need to take it back there.

Think GM is telling dealers to get past the 3year/36,000mile warranty. Why hasn’t GM come out with a better window? Can’t be that complicated to find a solution that works.

It seems the better window is the non sliding one. But yes, why can’t they look at the last model and say how did this one not leak?

Tell them to check it for leaks AFTER they are done with the "repair" Soapy water sprayed on the outside of the window frame, a little air from the air hose nozzle blasted at the inside of the window frame top and sides better not produce bubbles. If it does.....they have failed. It must pass the test prior to being returned.

Hey everyone, Just saw this thread and went to look at my window and I'm also a winner of the leaky rear window! Anyone who live in Socal have a dealer they taken it to that have knowledge of fixing this problem? I have a 2021 GMC Sierra and I can't believe that this been going on for 2yr and GM haven't addressed this problem.

Most of us CAN believe it.  It's typical of GM.  And some other manufacturers.  They just try to Band-Aid fix it until the warranty expires and then say in essence: "screw you, not our problem anymore." 

At least that is how I see it..

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM.

Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
