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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      OCI, not when but why?

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?
