Yea the trucks being built in august of 2020, mine was 8/14/20 and its leaking on the passenger side, waiting for my first service appointment yet.  

Is the frame leaking from cracks? If you push up on the headliner you should be able to see he cracks. Just wondering if your issue is the spoiler bolts or cracked window frame.

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.

Keep us updated.  I thought they fixed it for 2020, apparently not.

☝?
 

I wedged a small towel between the upper back of my seat and the window where it drips down for this very reason. I can’t get the dealer to actually fix the leak so I’m just keeping it from getting my carpet and hardware wet. Good enough for now, I guess.

I have paper towels there on both sides that I check once a week or after big storms. But that still hasn't helped this issue.

If the dealer can't fix mine or won't maybe I'll hang a small potted fern below the drip.  At least the water won't go to waste.

For my bigger leak, I'm thinking of something like this, but inside the cab.

Brilliant!  My wife would love it if I planted some kale.

Had the sealant repair in August (took 2 weeks) and leaked 3 days later. Took it back and took another 2 weeks for replacement window + sealant. Because so much water flows under the spoiler and dumps right on top of the window, I asked them how we could build the sealant up to where the water sheds off the top instead of sitting behind the window on the seal. They talked to GM and realized they were doing the repair incorrectly, and it looks like they did what I asked (although it looks a little messy). Also, I've been following this thread a long time and have seen many pictures of window frames posted. I have never seen a frame like the new one in my truck. They insisted this is THE new window design to address this issue. I have been told a few things that I know are untrue, so who knows but see below and take it for what it's worth. 

 

After this mess, I have sold the truck to to a dealership for $500 less than what I paid in April with 5,000 miles on it (thankful I bought when they had 2x $6,500 discounts). I don't want this headache anymore. I keep my vehicles a long time and I refuse to worry about a leak every time it rains or I wash it. 

 

Hopefully these pictures below help someone. I included the receipt from the work. If anyone knows anything about this window, please let me know. I am curious if it really is a new style window. (Keep in mind, I think the part number is the glass part numbers, not the window assembly part number). Good luck to everyone.

Hi, all

 

Newer AT4 owner here, and I read the past so-many pages of this thread, but 153 pages a long read.

So, please forgive the perhaps stupid question....

 

Is it possible to just replace this window with a solid non-sliding window that doesn't seem to have issues?

I don't have a leak yet, but I only have 1000 miles on my truck to-date.

I'm with everyone else - it won't fit in my garage and I will not sit and worry every time it rains if mine develops the issue.

 

Thx

Well I picked my truck up for the last and final repair to get things right. I got the most updated window (FUYAO E4 43R-000072) It water tested and everything was water tight so far. They still had shitty looking sealant around the window, but not as bad as the hack job they did before.

Is that THE window which does not leak?  I sure as hell hope so. I just checked my 2020 AT4 built in July 2020 and that’s what it has.

My window is shown below. My Denali was built 8/19 and I took delivery a year ago this month. Window began leaking a month ago on drivers side. Took it in last week and the Dealer is waiting for bolts etc. to show up.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
