May 6 2019 dropped off my 2019 Denali for rear windshield leak. They tried to pull and reseal, still leaked.

Ordered new rear windshield and it came in Friday May 10th.

Glassman supposed to install Monday afternoon May 12th.  It's Wednesday afternoon and truck still isnt ready.

Hoping for some good news tomorrow.

It's been 16 days without my truck!??

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.

Hope it's resolved for you. I waited 16 days total and mine got the whole window replaced and that fixed it.

That's exactly how bad mine was. I had both sides too.

Do you happen to know your build date?

Bingo. 

 

For those readers new to this thread, the rear window leak issue has almost exclusively been on trucks built on or before 10/2018.

So what has been the fix for those who’ve had theirs repaired? I took mine in on Wednesday and they ordered a new silicone recommended by GM per a bulletin that was sent out on this issue. Unfortunately, the new silicone did not correct the issue.

First step is to remove the rear spoiler and apply the sealant/caulk. Second step, I believe, is a complete new rear window unit.

A new rear window is the definitive solution.

 

Those windows are straight up defective and should be replaced. Adding extra sealant to a defective window is treating the symptom, not the cause IMHO. Unfortunately your dealer is likely to follow GM's TSB so just sit back, play the game and drive the loaner like you stole it.

 

But hey, what do I know...only took them three tries to fix mine...the third time being with a new window.

Picked mine up Tuesday. 3rd time was the charm. It’s rained a little here and there since I picked it up and it looks like the issue has been resolved. 26 days total in the shop. GM is also paying my care note for one month.

Supposedly there is a May 30th update to bulletin 18-NA-383 for the rear window leak repair. Does anyone have access to it to see what changed from previous versions?

If only this were as easy as wishing GM would replace the known defective A/C Condensers and Vacuum Pumps on our earlier K2's.

They would rather have two or 3 techs spend a day or more with tubes of silicone to repair rather than install a new rear window.

That is why I am curious what the new tsb says. Maybe they changed it to say replace window.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
