That is what I topped mine with after the best 100% silicone that HD sold

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.

I used rope caulking around every penetration on the spoiler and the silicone on top of the window. IMO no need to put any additional sealer along the top edge of the spoiler.

If you seal every penetration it can’t get inside. You could also use rope caulk under the nuts on the inside to double up

I never did. I just sealed up all the access points before that so water can’t get to those screws. 

I will try to do that such a shame GM dont do anything to help the customers out, as much as I love my truck I feel like trading it in and never look back.

Eh. It’s a design flaw. They all do it. Ford, Dodge, GM, Toyota, Nissan, et al.

 

I’ve been into GM fullsizes since the 90’s and owned or been around every generation since the 70’s and they all have issues you have to fix or live with. Also owned and been around a bunch of other make trucks and SUV’s and they all have issues.

If I wasn’t going to remove the spoiler I would spray out and dry the cavity on top of the window and then buy about six tubes of the Permatex WS flowable sealer and start after it. Probably two layers. I am sure on my two the leaks weren’t coming from the penetrations but the numerous and several large cracks plus on one the lack of sealer on the right side.

This would be pretty easy to try and if successful it’s a twofer….

Leaked fixed and a feeling of accomplishment!

I did two and still had a few slight leaks. I did another and discovered one leak on the driver’s side where the sealant had settled into a slight depression by a crack in the frame. I used the 4th tube and now no leaks. I’ve pretty much filled the space between the glass and the body when viewed from the outside. Between that and sealing the space between the body and the front of the spoiler I believe I’ve stopped the water getting in.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
