Rear window leak

Jac365 · December 19, 2020

I took mine through the car wash today to get all the nasty road salt off. Checked the rear window, so far so good after using the permatex flowable silicone in the leak the tech found.

Least you got an Enclave. They gave me an Encore. Little clown car. [emoji2961]

Gotta love getting a $15k crap box in exchange for your $60k truck.

Mine is finally going to go through the lemon law process.
Leased March 2019

-First leak April 2019 (sealed per TSB).
- leaked immediately after being sealed.
- Second time to dealer new window installed, lasted 8 months until it leaked again.
- Then it was sealed per TSB.
- leaked shortly after being sealed again.
- Second new window installed. Didn’t leak for a couple months.
- Last night it rain very lightly. I decided I’d check because it won’t rain much the rest of the winter (Live in MN). I also heard the light rain was worse for leaking. Well it had a leak.. not huge but it also barely rained.

I am so frustrated that GM hasn’t fixed this issue and will be contacting my attorney who already has already started the lemon law process.

Between the window leaks and needing a new headliner because of the leaks it’s been in the shop for over 50 days total! 4 failed repair attempts.

Well, looks like I'm moving on from the leaking window club. I have a 2019 Silverado 1500 4x4 that originally started leaking 2 months after I bought the truck. Was told it was fixed, but 11 months later, started leaking again. Last week, took it into the dealership for repair and they gave me a 2020 Silverado 1500 for a loaner. Loved the loaner so I decided to buy it. It has a solid back window so no more leaks (fingers crossed). Good luck to the rest of you as I hope that Chevy does the right thing and finally comes out with a permanent fix for the windows.

Get solid rear windows put in guys. The sliders will never last.

When mine was in last week they gave me the clown car as well. Had it for 2 days. I felt like Magilla Gorilla driving that little roller skate.

That's my plan. I gave them 1 shot at fixing it. When it leaks again I'm going to swap the slider for the solid window. When I picked up my truck I told the service manager that and he looked at me like I was crazy. I love my truck and have no intention of letting the stupid sliding window ruin my ownership experience. To me it's worth the money to pay for the window swap and be done with it.

I like this plan. I honestly don’t care about the sliding window.

If I had the choice to eliminate the slider when I ordered my truck I would have. Sucks they force you to get it by bundling the slider with the other options you want.

I actually don't like the slider. It has too much stuff in the view. And that tiny opening is useless. So if mine leaks it will be replaced with a solid window. I didn't want the slider anyway. But my OCD will drive me crazy having a non functioning switch up there.

I think they make you get it on any package that has a sunroof so they don't need to make a different panel for the controls. I will check and see if there is a panel that has everything but the rear window is I put a solid window in. But I doubt it since mine has a sunroof and garage door opener. There is not likely a package that has those and no slider. I still think that is why they don't give you that choice.

Sunroof comes optional on the SLT Convenience Package which includes the sliding window. The entry level SLT has a solid window but can’t come with the sunroof separate. I tried when I ordered my truck to get the solid. When I get the truck I’m putting the solid window in from the start. I’m not even going to play around with the slider.

I’ve been following this thread for a while now and I believe it was first mentioned by another member, but you can order an AT4 with a solid window but the only package you can add which is very minimal is driver alert 1. When you get to the accessories tab you can what looks to be universal remote for your garage door(s). I would’ve really like some of the other options especially the Bose speaker system but oh well. I believe you can on an SLT too but you can’t get front bucket seats if I remember correctly.
