Thanks for the info!  I had looked up the rear glass on GM Parts Direct, and they have it for $330.  I'm sure shipping will cost a pretty penny as well.  There is a local glass shop here that everyone recommends for windshields (vs Safelite), so I will give him a call.  If you happen to have the part number for the rear glass, can you tell me if this is what you got?  https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-back-glass-84008420?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9Z2xhc3MtYW5kLWhhcmR3YXJlLWJhY2smbD00Jm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJmE9Z21jJm89c2llcnJhLTE1MDAmeT0yMDE5JnQ9c2x0JmU9NS0zbC12OC1nYXM%3D

My glass place ordered the glass from the local dealer. Unfortunately no part number is list on the receipt. I gave him my vin but was useless since my vin shows a slider. I told him to get a solid with factory privacy tint with defrost and he understood what I was going after. Shows a list price of $522.64 with a net price of $343.72. Which is what I was quoted when I called the dealer also. $18 charged for adhesive. Labor was $300. Tax of course is extra. With the install the spoiler and headliner stayed in place. The seat back has to be removed and the seat belts with the trim panels also need removed. For me it was worth paying extra because of the shop reputation then going with a company like Safelite. Which the guy may or not have experience. Good luck on your window.

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.

I’m leaning towards just having it replaced by a professional glass shop. I don’t want to deal with the dealer. They can only do what Gm lets them do. If I can do it for 5-600 dollars, it stings, but it’s worth it for a 50k truck. 
what boggles my mind is that GM just about forces to get the slider. Wouldn’t you think they’d stop pushing it by now? They gotta know it doesn’t work. 

They (GM) don't give a $h!t.  It's all about the $$

Curious how many of these leakers GM has had. 

The real question is how many they HAVEN’T or will NOT have.

So stupid to put a spoiler in your roof with more holes allowing even a possibility it will leak. The spoiler adds nothing to the design of the truck. I wouldn’t have missed it had it not been there. Just FYI I was looking at a Ram forum and they had the same issue with the cracking frame in 2019. Have not heard or found if any Rams beyond 2019 had the issue. Still considering trade in. But still researching

Yeah I read the same thing earlier today. They need to get these issues under control. Ridiculous my 31 year old C1500 is sitting outside getting the ****** pounded out of it by rain and still dry as a bone inside, while my 1k mile ‘21, well you know.

Mine was sealed at the dealership on Wednesday and it rained for hours on Friday (yesterday) and I am happy to report, no leak. I only hope it stays that way.

Well guys, I just couldn't deal with it anymore. Carvana offered 39,600 and Carmax offered 41k. Waiting for wife to pick me up from Carmax right now. Check in hand. I do not plan to buy anything else at this time. The truck was a third vehicle. Don't really need one. I'll be sure to lurk this thread for years to come. Good luck to the rest of you still dealing with this and those who will be soon. Peace

Gonna be jumping ship too in the next couple of weeks. As I was on the way to the dealer for the window issue, I got a reduced engine power, service parking brake, and service ESC with reduced steering assist had to pull over. 2 months of ownership and only 1100 miles. I’m over it. I have zero confidence in this vehicle. I’ll keep my GMT400 til I die though.

All the best to you, man. You’ve been a great help in this thread. 
 

That’s a good cash price. What was your trim again? 
 

KBB dealer portal offered me $42K for ‘19 my RST Z71 with 14K on it. I’m holding out for another month or two to trade for an SUV, tho.

19, 20, 21. When will it end? What the hell kind of engineers do they have that can't solve this problem?  

Given how ugly these things are, you have to actually ask this question?

It SUCKS that GM let you down.  And is letting everyone else down.  How much did you pay for it new?

I didn't pay cash, so in the end, I paid about 16k for 21mos of ownership, which includes TTL, interest, and insurance. But the aggravation was beyond measurable.

I bought it because I loved the look. My favorite looking truck available.  Sucks you think they don't look good. But let's not hijack this thread with that tangent. LOL

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
