Rear window leak

warhawk89 · February 17, 2020

Update on the rear window. Heavy rains in GA and no visible leaks or cracks yet.

Headliner is in finally but waiting for a new dome interior light before taking it to the collision shop for repair.

Again, if you have the option, have your dealer send the parts and job to a insurance / collision center that specializes in body repairs and making stuff brand new. These techs at dealers are nothing more than oil change boys.

Will update with pics after I get it in the shop.

That's a real good idea if it is allowed.

I just joined the club this morning. Trickle down the back. Not much water at all but this is unsat. I’ll be lurking...

Well you came to the right place. This thread must be #1 on Google for Silverado window leak. Anyway, good luck and keep us posted.

The 2020 loaner I have is dry as a bone. Not to say it won’t leak later on but so far it’s good. Window is E9.

I still think it’s more that top plastic piece that looks beefier like mine... only time will tell if that was GMC’s “fix” for the cracking

My 2020 had the beefier new window from the factory and made it 6 weeks before leaking.

Welp, picked mine up. Not sure if it will leak or not but was noted on the paperwork that all of the bolt holes on the spoiler were sealed with the seam sealer as well, so that’s good. Not the prettiest seam dealer job but I think I can clean it up some.

Scratched the driver side panel by the seatbelt so they are ordering me a new one.

Headliner looks good, no fingerprints or damage so that’s a win.

Only issue is now when I put the sunroof shade back I hear a scraping at the very end, might be hitting the dome light. Anyone else had this happen?

So I just left the dealership to talk to them about them scratching and gouging the a-pillars. The service manager acted like he was doing me a favor by replacing the weather stripping that they messed up and replacing the driver side a-pillar but refused to replace the passenger side. The manager was a dick about the whole thing. Plus I haven't had my truck but 3 days of February so far from where it's sitting at the dealership where they messed it up.

Well that’s disappointing

hotrodz37 · February 17, 2020

Does anyone know if the middle dome light just pops in with clips? Rather figure out why the sunroof shade is rubbing then have the dealer touch it again.

Thanks!

Iv posted in here a few times before but now I officially get to join the club.
2020 RST with slider

build 11/19. Bought 12/10/19 with 3400 Miles

happened after a light hand wash

Been checking after every rain and every wash since I bought it. This is the first sign of water I noticed

bdsilverado · February 18, 2020

Nooo! I have a 20 rst 6.2 as well with the same build date and I purchased two weeks after you. Shucks I was thinking I would be in the forever dry club. But it's not going to be that way for long by the looks of it.

Got mine back today. Second attempt at the reseal. First time the work was terrible. Looked like the technician used great stuff. Now I can't even tell it was done and they removed the water stain from the headliner. Fingers crossed it works... Raining here today. Hopefully I don't go out in the am and find another wet rear seat. GM should give us 10 yrs and unlimited miles on that rear glass...

Yea I thought I was safe too. Especially after I noticed that the plastic frame In mine was wider and beefier than ones I seen in pictures of older frames with cracks
