Rear window leak

So basically, if you have a sliding rear window, it’s gonna leak. 
I would have to say odds are the slider will leak. I have to agree with the posts above you have to wonder how many trucks are leaking where owners have no clue.

Since finding my leak yesterday everytime I saw a T1 on the road I think "I wonder if that truck leaks too and if so is the owner aware of it?".

I really love my truck but the fact that this issue is still ongoing is completely pathetic.

Sad to think as long as I own this truck and it has a slider every time it rains I will have to check for leaks.

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 windshield in my 2019 Yukon also leaked near the top passenger side headliner.  The dealer had a glass company come and they said that the factory urethane was applied improperly.  Then after that, the rain sensor for the windshield wipers didn't work.  But that too was then replaced under warranty.

Update after sealing the top spoiler gap:

 

Got some rain this weekend.  Truck was out for a few hours. No leak. 
 

Will continue to monitor and report back.

If I buy a 2021 Denali, I’ll probably just seal the top spoiler gap myself using the Kent High-Tech Seam Sealer in Clear, part no. P10200 (5 oz.), as recommended in the GM TSB from January 2020.

Oof. Glad I found this thread. I kinda don't care about having the slider, but I like the truck. Tough one.

Without reading through the entire 179 pages, its confirmed this is still an issue on 2021s correct?

Someone mentioned a few pages back about a new style window  frame, but time has not proven it to be a solution.

 

Rumor has it that GM has now deemed the T1 platform leakage problem to indeed be in the "rocket science" category and have requested help from NASA and JPL.

Just got the call from the dealership that GM is sending a replacement window to be installed by an independent glass company.  Should be done this afternoon or tomorrow.  I will post which style window it is when I pick it up.  My confidence isn't high that this will resolve the issue for good, but still keeping my fingers crossed.

I just had the latest part number glass put in mine yesterday.  The glass has went through 3 part number changes. Took a month and a half for it to come in.  So we will see what happens.

Would you be able to post the part number just to confirm which the latest is?  I read through a bunch of posts and between the different part numbers and the change in the style of plastic I couldn't decipher which was actually the latest.

DOES anybody with a rear slider have one that hasn't leaked from the factory? 

So far so good. 2020 Trail Boss LT built 6/20 in Mexico.

 

Now that I've said something watch me report back with a leak. First thing first, though. I need some rain. It doesn't rain much in San Diego.

2020 AT4 no leaks yet but hasn't been cold to make the plastic brittle.  I am waiting for the inevitable.  GM is a bunch of incompetent idiots.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
