A friend of ours works at the Fort Wayne plant, and I heard him mention that they had engineers there at the plant for several months trying to figure out the issue and how to fix it. I didn't ask him whether they ever think they found a fix, but based on this thread, I have to assume they never did. I will have to keep an eye on our 2020 Denali and I wish I had known about this before our purchase. :(

It would be great to know, but yea the latest builds are still having these issues, I think there was a 2021 in here with a leaking rear.  Had to be 9/20 build or later.  Let us know if you chat with him again and can get any other information.  Several months is a long time lol...

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.

Is the Trim Lok cord that others have used too large in diameter to push in around the rear window.  Was thinking of trying that instead of caulk or sealant due to the temps in PA right now.  There seems to be enough of a gar around the window to do it.

I purchased the one someone linked to on here and it didn't work for me. I was able to get it in (between edge of glass and body) but once in, the gap between the back of the glass and frame was wider than .25 inch.

I would go to their website and find one that will fit that gap. The one that the other guy linked on here was for the upper gap of the spoiler. I'm sure they have one that will fit the bigger gap of the window. Then you can go to a place like Home Depot or Levine's Auto or something and find that bigger size. Might work... Here is the link to the website of the people that make all this stuff...

Thanks Dali555.  I am going to check that out, and see if I can Amazon a slightly larger diameter size.  With a black truck I don't think it is going to stick out like a sore thumb, at least as a temporary solution.

Got my truck back after a week and a half. I’ll have to take a better look tomorrow as it was dark when I picked it up. I’ve attached a pic of the new glass numbers as well as the top of the frame and a pic of the old frame... slight difference

Nice to see some physical changes being done to address the issue. Hope it’s the fix everyone’s been waiting for.

Looks like the same series as my 06/20 build:

The frame looked to be a little thicker when I intitally looked at the OP’s pictures. No?

I guess I have been lucky. Mine is not leaking. And I live in rainy Seattle. How do you know the build date on the truck?

This is the first time I've seen the FUYAO E4's without the "wing". Historically, the FUYAO E2's did not have the wing, but the FUYAO E4's and the VIRTO E9's did. 

If that is the case, then they are mixing glass versions with frame types.  ???

Is the wing the "redesigned" part?

Interesting. My E2 has a wing but it looks different. 10/2018 build. Goes without saying that it leaks. ?D1653685-F820-4593-9F39-56ACBBE9BE4F.thumb.jpeg.e528d1203a1eecc06218cd48b0e13e8e.jpeg4C03E1EA-A17D-4558-B20C-26F9CACF3907.thumb.jpeg.ed79e7c7d109503f2a2b306be107686e.jpeg

No, the wing is my original window and the other is the new redesigned window.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
