Update on the rubber cord idea. The gap is not consistent all the way across and the rubber cord is firmer than I expected. I haven’t had a chance to try and soften the rubber up to get it to fit all the way across. Maybe someone else has some ideas on a softer weather stripping/ cord to fit in the gap???

I wonder if plumbers putty or silicone caulking would work?

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.

Update got the window sealed and it turned out Sh.t, big blobs on both sides. Dealer tried to cut it out, made it worse. They are ordering a new rear window and having it replaced at Safelite, hopefully they  do a better job. Rear seats and head liner have to removed, so excited to have a brand new truck tore apart again!

Totally feel you pain.  I am a 8/20 build too, so far my valve springs are good (1700 miles) but my rear window leaks as well, and my battery has had to be replaced.  

 

This is the exact reason I haven't had my local dealer attempt to fix this.  I really don't get why these windows all leak lol Its just so unacceptable  IMHO

I live in western Washington and it rains here a lot. I had a trans leak and when at the dealer I asked about this. He said they had never had one come in for that. He didn't even know about the problem.

Just rained in San Diego for the first time since April, or so I've been told since I moved here in December. Decided to take the opportunity to see if I had a leak. None so far, but will check again tomorrow since it'll be raining through tomorrow night.

Why would you think he's talking about a truck frame crack?
 
I'm fairly certain he was obvious with "a crack in the frame of the sliding window".
 
Maybe he should just replace the cam instead.[emoji1787][emoji1787]

Maybe some of us can actually comprehend what we read. This isn't the first time you've ran off in left field when the ball went right down the middle.

Took my 2020 to the dealer on Friday for the leak on the passenger side.  Its supposedly their first.  No cracks were found on the slider frame.  Having the headliner, spoiler removed to apply sealant.  Will see if it works.

Let's us know if you can where the dealer put sealant on the spoiler?  Straight across the top gap or around each bolt hole?

Leak is only at the window frame.  Spoiler has to come off to get to the window for sealant application.  I'll ask though on what they did exactly, hopefully tomorrow and let you know.

I'd wager good money that it is cracked just like all the others in this thread.

Welcome to the leakers club. 
 

I'm lucky, If you can call it that, I live in a dry place.  Such a shame that these vehicles are leaking.  Seems like such an avoidable problem.  You can watch the robots sealing seams and installing glass at the factory online.  Somehow there's a glitch in the assembly line that GM isn't addressing.  My $250 GMC that was my first vehicle had holes in the floor but was still water tight, unless you ran over a puddle.

Well I have been waiting a month for the replacement window to come in. I'm losing faith in GMC. I will let you know how it turns out. I have a bad feeling there will not be a happy ending to this story...

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
