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.

Anyone have this happen to their 2020's? 
Not yet. But Everytime it rains it is the first thing I check.

Finally got my new window in and installed. The new window looks great and doesn’t leak so far!  My old window had yellow marks on it inside, which I thought was a little strange, the new one doesn’t?  It also seems to have a bit darker color to it on the margins? The dealer had a glass company do the work and they did a great job. I can’t tell that anything was ever done to it, all the sealant was removed well and no scratches or scuffs. I had the sealant in for a couple weeks and it never leaked, but I insisted on a new window and the service manager didn’t give me any problems.
 

I hope this is behind me and wish everyone else good luck if they are still dealing with it, or have to in the future.

Great news, Mine has been ordered but I'm told is currently on back order. They said they will send it to a glass shop to be installed as well.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado rst crew cab and my rear windshield is leaking. It’s now at the dealership being repaired for the second time. My back seat cushion is holding water and has swollen so causing seams to come apart. Dealership is great and I think Chevy will do right because I gave them a chance after have 5 previous Fords with no issues.

Does anyone have a before and after shot of the old (leaking) and new (full replacement) window? 
 

someone said it had a little more yellow tint to it on the inside? Just wanting some visual cues if possible

Ok guys. I picked up my new 2019 on Halloween and Monday noticed water leaking into the cab on the top corners of my rear window. I read a good bit of this thread already.  Called the dealership on Tuesday and dropped it off Tuesday morning. I’ll keep y’all updated on their progress. Have t heard anything yet.

Ugh. I've had my Feb 2019 build RST since late March 2019. 7000 miles on it, and it's sat through a ton of super heavy rainfalls here in DFW during spring and summer. One of our wettest springs/summers of late. 

 

I had it parked backwards on our inclined driveway over night. I've not done that before. So the front was much lower than the rear. Rained very lightly last night and I came out to the truck dripping on the driver's side rear seat. 

 

I'm hoping this was only because I had it parked on a heavy incline.

 

I've had the thing through many car washes, etc. and it's never leaked before. The water was coming from the end of the slide for the power rear window.

Sorry brother, it's broken.  Take it in to be checked out.

Yeah, I've had that sinking feeling as well. Maybe after 7K miles it's finally wiggled enough to lose its seal. Ugh. 

 

I need to take it in for the seat belt recall, anyway. So I guess I might as well have them fix this and my squeaking rear brakes, too.

7k was about when mine started leaking. But yours being a later build it may very well be nothing too. Hopefully.

Yeah, here's hoping. I think I'll wait until I take it through the car wash again just to make sure. The headliner was totally dry today, and the leak was really minimal. Just a few drops of water on the top of the seat. 

 

I'm comforting myself with the fact that my dealer will have seen MANY of these by now, so they should get it fixed quickly and accurately the first time - if I do need them to repair it.

My truck was built in January of 2019.  My dealer is telling me they have never heard of this problem and don't know how long it will take to get the sealant in and make the repair.  They did do the recall on the seat belt in a timely fashion. Is this stuff hard to get or on short supply?

My 5/19 build date TrailBoss rear window leak developed over the weekend.  Wonder why it started now after 5 months and 7000 miles? Passenger side rear seat water drops all over it and back corner headliner was soaked.  
 

Anyone dealt with this issue in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
