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. 

A little off topic, but is this a touchless auto wash you're using? 

 

I've read in another thread that someone with T1 Silverado had the front air curtain ripped off at an auto-wash. (It was not touchless).

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.

Nope, not a touchless car wash, I see no paint issues with my Cajun Red and I've had no damage done. I did the same with my 17 Audi Q7 with super dark blue paint and my 12 Lexus GX 460 and have yet to have damage done to the vehicle and the paint holds up quite well. Since my vehicles rarely get very dirty I think my paint doesn't get the scratches and swirls because there is so little dirt on the paint to begin with. Just my theory but it's been working for me.

yeah @econometrics that was me. No more automatic car washes for this truck.

 

 

Thanks for chiming in. I couldn't remember who posted that. I'm erring on the side of caution here and manually washing mine for the foreseeable future. Plus, it's a good workout with the size of the T1. LOL

So I dropped my truck off for round two of the rear window leak.. 

Who else is embarrassed that you get a nice new truck and you have to explain to people when they see you driving another truck (loaner) that your brand new trucks rear window leaks!

Ehh, I'm not embarrassed. Maybe when they gave me an Equinox loaner because it was a piece of shit. But not now that I'm in another T1 truck.

I wouldn't so much be embarrassed as I would be fliching at all the cutting faces my wife would be making at me for "just having to have that NEW truck NOW"... ?

Trust me when all three neighbors drive F150s and poke fun at you 2 or 3 times a day for 23 days it gets old real quick.

Ha! That’s rough. 

 

Not as rough as owning something as boring as an F-150, though... ?

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 appreciate the advice. I live in Texas near Dallas. We don't have harsh winters so maybe the extreme cold where other owner's live caused the cracks sooner? I had been checking frequently hoping i was a lucky early build. I'm just glad i was able to catch it before i had to worry about the headliner and mildew.

So the dealer called me today and advised they are going to go ahead and just replace the back window instead of trying to reseal it a second time. I guess I was convincing enough on the phone to get them to do that instead of resealing it. Said it will probably take a week or so to get the window.

Let’s hope they got it this time. Did they clean  the  rest of the truck and get it looking good?

Picked up mine after the window seal, rained last night, didn't see anything this morning before I left for work. It's supposed to rain pretty hard this afternoon / evening, I'll check a few times tonight and tomorrow morning to see what it looks like. If I don't see anything tomorrow morning I'll run the hose down it and see what happens then. The only thing here is it was a very small leak to begin with, nothing like others have posed with wet headliners and water on the seat, I barely had a drip on the inside glass.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
