Well, I wish good news. Ha! Had rear window leak repaired with clear silicone beads-3 of them at 8k and now at 8980 miles window is leaking again... so done with this truck. Hopefully my buyout will be approved by EOW. This is not just not because of window leaking, many more issues..

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.

The shark fin was a big source of leaks on the previous generation trucks, but when it did leak, it would be wet exactly where you’d expect it. Front half of the headliner, up to and near the A-pillar. 


Hard to dispute on the T1s that the window (and cab spoiler to a lesser extent) is causing the leak. Especially when the cracks in the window frame are plainly visible and the leak goes away when you caulk them.

Yeah, I don’t buy the shark fin cause of the rear window leak at all. Sounds like Chevy dealer intergalactic logic to me.

Just lost for words that any shop would call that an acceptable fix let alone a gm dealership and this on a brand new truck.  Shame on the technicians and service manager for even handing back the keys like that, really i have to ask because i know we have some gm techs on this website but really how do you even stomach tsb's telling you to do @##@ work like this?

I will preface this with my truck is currently at the dealer for this but was wondering, has anyone tried to remedy this themselves with the sealant? I thought about buying the Kent sealant in the TSB and getting a 90 degree caulk tip and trying to seal it where it's leaking myself. Mine is in two very small spots, no headliner damage. Rather than having the techs destroy the headliner and introduce more leaks through the spoiler. 

 

I took it in just because I would rather have them not try to tell my that by doing it myself they won't cover it under warranty, but was curious regardless.

Yeah i would almost guarantee you that if they found out you had touched it they would void any future claims regarding that issue. I would agree with you to not take that chance.

Day 21 - Still waiting to get mine back, hoping for this week.  All i got was a seal and a new headliner so far.

Just picked up my truck, and from what i can see, looks like the dealer/window installer did a good job. Headliner and trim pieces look good.

 

The part number of my new window is the FAYUO 43R-000072. The same that other members have received.

 

So time will tell if this window leaks as well and as always will keep everyone posted

Went in today for them to replace the two pillar panels that got scratched to hell. Looks back to new. Also had them fix the middle seat belt anchor the first tech twisted up into a knot. They also did the second brake BCM reflash recall to fix the bad one applied in December. Truck almost feels whole again. But I'm having PTSD waiting to see if the replacement window will leak or not.

Looks like my adventure has started back up. We have had a lot of rain the past couple of days. I checked on my window which was replaced last week. I could not see any evidence of it leaking. Everything looked good. Just out of curiosity I decided to check under the carpet just inside the rear door on the drivers side. The first place I had discovered wet carpet a couple of months ago.  And guess what? It is wet. So call to the dealership and call to GMC. I'll keep you guys posted. Dammit!

Wow .... I'm so sorry!!!!    Please keep us updated.  I"m nervous to get mine this week.  I'm going to check the carpet and look for rust like others have stated.  

 

Thanks for the info!

The same number others have been posting on their new windows.43R-000072. I just did further research and found a little water in the track that the window slides in. Nice!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
