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

      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. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed.

      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.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      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.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
