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.

Well, they should have replaced the window after the first caulk job fails. At least they did for mine. And the replacement window never leaked.

 

If they can get you a new window in there and a good glass guy to install it, you should be home free.

Mine was three reseals and then they started replacing glass.

They replaced the window. Looks like they did a decent job.

Is it too early to say seems like the leaks have ceased for the 1500 2021 model year?

Having a 21, I sure hope so, but I keep checking this thread anytime there’s a new post.  I think I’m pretty well prepared if a leak does happen thanks to all the input here.

Well were is the welcome party for the the leaking window club. I'm in now. 2019 Silverado LT Z71 Crew Cab. Build date 6/24/19, U.S. build. My big question is how do you buy the Kent seam sealer? Went to there website and looks like you need a business license to buy from them. I refuse to let the dealer work on it and would like to do this myself. Thanks for any help

2019 Sierra, just shy of 70,000 miles. No leak until today. Small amount from each corner of the cab. Not happy.

Add another to the leak list.  Stained my headboard as well.  I have witnessed the dribble down the window in each corner, but my staining is higher up on the headboard suggesting that the spoiler may also be leaking higher up from the window.
 

This may be a stupid question, but I’m going to ask anyway.  Why couldn’t you just seal all around the spoiler and window with high quality sealant?

What were the 2 fixes that were done on your truck? Was it just a reseal both times, or was the window replaced?

Add me to the list. I bought my truck certified pre-owned in July with 38k miles on it, 900 miles later I washed it again today and discovered the leak. I contacted my local dealership and they said it's not covered under the certified pre-owned bumper to bumper 12 month or 12k miles warranty. I called another dealership and they said the same thing. I told them about the TSB info and they said they can't fix because it's out of 36 month or 36k warranty. Bunch of BS. The window frame is cracked on the inside and that's where the water leaks. The dealer I bought the truck from is 3 hours away and all I get is someone will call you back. GM certified warranty is useless and a fraud. They never cover anything within the 12 months bumper to bumper. I had a 2016 sierra denali 5.3 with water leak problems and the same happened, the only reason I have this 2019 denali 6.2 is because I was given a lot for my 2016. The GM certified pre-owned advisor told me to contact the dealerships and that the leak should be covered but the dealerships say no and they want 300 for a reseal.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
