Wow sorry to hear. Mine’s been at the dealer since Dec.16th. You and a few others mentioned trim lok, can you provide a link which piece you are ordering? I’m also wondering how good a job will be done with mine. 

Search Trim-lok on Amazon... it’s where I got it. I ordered 1/4” tube and 3/8” tube... it’s just the round core tubing... see pic

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.

This really sucks. My 03 2500HD with almost 300,000 miles doesn't leak. I would expect it from that. It was leaking on the front passenger floor in extreme rain. Turned out the drain in the bottom of the left fender was plugged. It filled up to the HVAC system. I cleaned it out and no more leak. Good thing since it has no space in the garage now. So it goes in the RV shed with the RV and the Jhon Deere. The Jhon Deere has to be in the middle as it will go past the trailer tongue. It's the only way everything fits and the door will close. So I tend to leave the truck outside when the tractor is being used. It's also not a push the button door. So if I will be using it again the next day it's easier to leave it out. I normally don't leave any vehicles outside. But it is fenced and gated rural property and if it is up by the garage you can't see it from the street. So I think it's pretty safe. And it is right under a security camera.

Big test tomorrow. Leak was sealed at dealer using a glass company last week and it's actuality supposed to rain in SoCal Sunday and Monday.

Guess who is going back to the dealer for a second round of Fix the Leak. 

 

Called another dealer in the area, Hardin Buick GMC, and they said they had never heard of the issue with leaking window. Was told since Tustin Buck GMC attempted to fix it once, I need to take it back there.

Think GM is telling dealers to get past the 3year/36,000mile warranty. Why hasn’t GM come out with a better window? Can’t be that complicated to find a solution that works.

It seems the better window is the non sliding one. But yes, why can’t they look at the last model and say how did this one not leak?

Tell them to check it for leaks AFTER they are done with the "repair" Soapy water sprayed on the outside of the window frame, a little air from the air hose nozzle blasted at the inside of the window frame top and sides better not produce bubbles. If it does.....they have failed. It must pass the test prior to being returned.

Hey everyone, Just saw this thread and went to look at my window and I'm also a winner of the leaky rear window! Anyone who live in Socal have a dealer they taken it to that have knowledge of fixing this problem? I have a 2021 GMC Sierra and I can't believe that this been going on for 2yr and GM haven't addressed this problem.

Most of us CAN believe it.  It's typical of GM.  And some other manufacturers.  They just try to Band-Aid fix it until the warranty expires and then say in essence: "screw you, not our problem anymore." 

At least that is how I see it..

      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.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
