I was called by the dealer yesterday and will be picking my truck up 4/23. They also advised the stains on the headliner were cleaned and are gone. 

On a side note to test the seals should I just run a hose on the roof for a few minutes? 

I found mine by hosing down the rear of the roof where it meets the spoiler and the top of the glass right under the spoiler.

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.

Same here. Just ran the garden hose on the roof and sprayed down the top of rear glass just like you would if you were washing car. I also would not assume the dealer actually water tested it first. Mine didn't and it leaked all over when I got home and ran a hose on it for 20 seconds. Good luck hope the got yours fixed on the first try.

Ok so I picked up my truck today. The service advisor said they checked everything cleaned the headliner and water tested the truck. 

I came home and ran a garden hose on it for 30-45 seconds and guess what?? 

WATER LEAKING INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW!

Not surprising. The level of quality control at the dealership service dept is shit. My truck is more damaged everything time I get it back.

Well if it makes you feel any better you are not alone. Time to escalate to service manager and gm district rep

Well this journey didn't start well, but I think it ended well. On day 23 I picked up my truck on the way home. It was spotless on the inside and out. I could not tell they had the front window out and headliner replaced. I could tell they shampooed the carpets as it had that faint smell of carpet shampoo that hopefully will go away in a few days of driving with the windows down.

It was pouring rain when I picked it up, and I was out standing in the rain when I got home soaking it for 10 minutes with a hose. No leaks. Although my f150 neighbors must really think I'm nuts with 5 trucks in 4 weeks and I'm standing in the rain in my dress shoes soaking my truck with a hose.

I received separate phone calls from gm customer care, the service manager, and my sales consultant to make sure everything was ok.

I have to say after driving in a regular LT for 3 weeks, I am really glad I bought the trail boss. The Bose radio alone is worth the upgrade.

I still have my doubts long term but I am going to keep a positive outlook and try to enjoy my "new" truck.

I am excited to put this behind me and hope everyone else gets their trucks squared away.cdc528781884465ee430ab4b6282f4d1.jpg

Really happy to hear that. I check this thread every night hoping to hear an outcome like this. Way to stick in there. 

Enjoy it now.

Glad it worked out for you. My experience has been totally different. The service department at my dealer is full of retards. At least the ones that have touched my truck. They have been fighting me every step of the way, with the exception of the general manager. But I question his motives at this point. Whether or not he's really on my side. I still have yet to speak to the area rep personally, which I requested awhile ago.

Did they replace the window or just seal it better with sealant? Glad to hear there's no leaks.

The front window was removed and reinstalled to get new headliner in. The rear window had cracks that I verified, but they followed the gm bulletin to caulk it with sealant. First time still leaked, second time it stopped leaking so gm would not authorize replacing the window unless it starts leaking again.

I just dropped mine off today for water. I have a Denali with the rear sliding glass, built 9/18 at Ft Wayne. I have 7,500 miles on it. Thanks to this forum, i was frequently checking. I caught it early so the headliner looks fine and i put towels along the back seats to keep water from getting to the carpet.f67d84f3b074206b86a15bff2d8d6eff.jpg

Make sure you print that TSB out and bring it with you. And make sure they test it with a hose real good after 24 hours to make sure no leaks before you bring it home. Strange that you had that many miles and it just started leaking now?

I never saw any water until I hit 4900 miles on mine, and even then it was super minor, little run down the inside of the glass, nothing like others have reported with wet headliners and water on seats. I'll be picking it up today, I stopped in this morning ad they had it apart so I won't test it tonight so I let the sealant dry, I'll test tomorrow night. I run mine through the automatic car was at minimum of 2 times a week and up to 4 times a week and have never seen any water up until 2 weeks ago.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
