Going in for the back window replacement today, the seal job didn't work so they ordered the rear slider about two weeks ago.  Hoping the glass company they use does a great job, anything less and they will definitely hear about it! 

 

Wish me me luck...  better yet wish them luck!!

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.

Got mine back on repair #3 ...

 

This time an entire new rear window installed by a glass company.

 

Let's see if it holds ... if not, Mr. Lemon Lawyer will be calling.

I hope you have better luck than i did.  The glass replacement actually fixed the leaking.  IF the glass company could have just put the glass in straight (not crooked) i would be happy.  I find out Monday where i stand.  Still haven't heard from the dealer whether they got the headliner delivered to the shop and installed yet.   As for Mr Lemon,  i thought about that but it comes down to trying to get a replacement truck and i hear its slim pickings.

My truck has been in 3 time with this leak and the first 1 time getting it back it was like a water fall and the second and third are very little leaks and they replaced the headliner and rear window itself and it's still leaking after the third time of getting it back and it's in the same place as before and in in the lower track of the window now too. I believe at this point is is something Wrong with the design of the trucks water draining system from the roof causing the water to get into the vehicle (pictures are from the most current leak)

First time to dealer about the rear window leak. Visible cracks in slider frame inside from back seat. Initially dealer said they were going to pull out the window and reseal it. Told the service manager I wasn't happy with that due to the visible cracks and that they were fixing the symptoms and not the cause. Tech looked at it again with me and I pointed out the cracks. They are ordering a new window and having Safelite do the replacement.

Been awhile since we've got an update from jeepincbum11.  Wondering how things went on Monday a couple weeks ago now.

The dealership tried the required seal job on my back window leak first, that didn't work. A few weeks later they installed a new rear glass, that did the job! In and out in one day because I made sure they had the glass in stock before scheduling the work. Happy to report they did a good job and no other damage or screw-ups (interior or exterior) from either repair!

 

Also, pleased to report that after driving through a few heavy rains and a couple of trips to the car wash it is dry, no leaks!!

 

Problem solved, love my truck again!!

Going on 4 months of the initial seal repair....no leaks so far. The truck has been through a handful of car washes and many heavy rains. Anyone get lucky with the seal repair doing the trick?

I have to give a shout out to Maggio Buick in New Roads. The guy that worked on my truck did phenomenal work. I think having a good technician is more than half the battle.

Hey all,  Thanks for the reminder.   Been busy traveling.  

 

So - Status update.    Got the truck back.  It appears to be fixed.   The inside smells like a new truck (new headliner).  The window is level.   All the parts put back where they belong.   Nothing rattles (yet), and it doesn't leak.   Truck was dolled up and no scratches or glue are visible. 

 

The only issue i have found is they scratched the side post where the passenger seatbelt retracts when they dropped/installed the headliner. 

 

Still waiting to see what the dealership is going to do.   I am giving them another week before i start filling out their surveys and then adding more reviews to online websites.  

 

At least the leaks are gone.

I was supposed to have mine back this past friday.  The service rep called and said he identified where the glass company scratched the truck so he has it in the body shop getting the scratches repaired.  Seems like a never ending saga, Im ready to have my truck back.

My truck has been in the shop roughly 4 months total because they can't get it to stop leaking. It has been in and out 6 times now and I still don't have it back they gave me a little buick suv that can't even be used to haul anything. And I am having the same issues with the quality of work that everyone else recently seems to be having with the scratches on the bedsides and where the seat belts retract after headliner and rear window replacement. Any ideas on what to do?

IMO, you are way overdue for a buy back!  If you haven't already, open a case with GM and pursue a lawyer.

I've opened a case already they have yet to do anything about it. I will be in contact with one very soon. And I got the truck back today after being told it was good to go no leaks I looked at the window before leaving and found water marks running down it again and clearly on the inside after being told it was good to go this is ridiculous

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
