Add me to the list of leaks, I have a 2020 GMC Sierra AT4. I am in the waiting area at our local dealership now. They will be attempting to remove the spoiler / headliner  and squirt the clear seam sealer in between. Fingers crossed. I am not happy about the seam sealer but i would would be more frustrated having the back glass cut out. Will update in a week or so.

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.

"By the way, which one's Pink?" Great song.

edit - Not enough coffee this morning. The quotation is from "Have a cigar"

 

As for the original topic, so far no leaks with my rig.

Absolutely horrendous, so many thousands of units with this issue.  Is your truck the Slider Window or Fixed Window?

My truck has the slider. They told me the seam sealer has to dry 24 hours before I can get it wet, but my truck is ready for pick up. It only took them two hours for the “repairs”. I asked them if it still leaks and they said they cannot water test it for 24 hours. So then I asked them how is my truck ready for pick up if you do not know that your tube of seam sealer fixed my leak. Idiots.

I got my truck back and so far it has been through two torrential downpours with no leaks.  From what I can see they did a decent job of applying the sealant.  I had no paint scratches or scratches on the interior trim, so I'm pretty happy about that.  The only issue is now I can occasionally hear a "pop" noise from the back of the cab while driving.  I assume it's the spoiler, because it seems to be coming from outside.

Probably due to being over tightened.

Might be this.

Add another 21 GMC Sierra 2500 with a weeping window. 2500 miles, but appear frame Is intact still. Almost looks like it’s a poor seal on the driver side where the frame is glued to Glass on the top edge and there looks to be a weak amount of sealant compared to passenger side. Going into dealer Monday, fingers crossed they are gentle with her.

I am having the same issue. Just bought a new GMC 2500 Denali. Had it for three days and it rained. The top plastic track that the power rear window moves in has a leak. It  looks like the track is glued or sealed to the window. Started to leak right where the track and the window meet at the corner of the track behind the driver side.

It's possible.  I only notice the popping noise on really warm days.  I looked at it this morning and it seems to have plenty of room, but it is only 82 degrees right now.  I'll check again this afternoon.  Thanks.

And I am now on my 4th leak as of yesterday.  Today, the lemon law attorney has been contacted.

As assumed they played a bead of seam sealer on top of window to start the process. We shall see if it keeps it sealed long term. Good news it’s on Saturday got a good rainfall and it didn’t leak in so it would seem only to leak during a car wash with water spraying up in that area. They did a good job to get the interior back to the same shape as I dropped it off so that’s a plus.

I consider myself lucky that mine only drips a small amount when its in steady rain for 6hours +. Until there's a rea; "fix" I cant see trusting a dealer to "try" and fix it...possibly making it worse.

Add my 2019 to the growing list of leaks. Took it into the dealer and they leak tested it and confirmed the leak. Adviser said that they wouldn’t do the sealer that they were just going to replace the window. Got my truck back today with a new window. Fingers crossed it’s fixed. Strange that Safe-lite is who installed the window.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
