Got the truck back. The glass looks great. There are some pry marks on one plastic part it seems.  The back seat seems to be installed lower than it was before. I am not sure how that is even possible, does anyone know if there are adjustments?

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.

f8l vnm, I'll check the build date of mine whenever they get it done again but mine is a 2020 2500hd. They said they had 1 other 2020 in as well for the same leak. Is there a way I can look it up using the vin? May be a few weeks again before I see it ?‍♂️

Definatly going to video it next time so there no excuse.  I've read several post on this thread where people can spray their garden hose directly on it with no leak but a decent soaking rain seems to bring it out.

 

I regret not taking a picture of it but I went to a car wash and put a stream of water on it, nothing leaked. Yet, it rained and a little puddle formed. I can see the drops coming in from the top of the right passenger side of the window. Black headliner and I don't see spots, don't foresee them replacing it anyway. Has to be a pretty strong rain for it to happen though.

Ok guys. Just received a call from the warranty manager.  They have cleaned my headliner and according to them the stain came out completely. They also removed the rear seat and seat back and cleaned the padding and carpeting to ensure there so would be no mold/mildew issues. They also have extended my warranty to 60 months and 100,000 miles. They can’t make it leak from their water hose so we’ll see how it goes. There’s an 80% chance of rain on Friday and 50% on Saturday.

Picked up the truck and went straight to church for supper and a good ol property committee meeting. At 7:51 went back to truck. Opened rear door and noticed I can still see the water stain after it was cleaned along with a new stain. Took a ic and emailed it to Jarelyn my senior customer service person. I’m really frustrated right now. Just feel like I’m getting screwed at this point. What good is a warranty if they aren’t actually going to fix anything.

If there is a new leak it makes me think that it is coming in above the headliner somehow? Even though you can’t see it with a hose.  The headliner is acting like a sponge.

Ok just got a text from my dealerships manager. He wanted to know if it was leaking again. I told him it wasn’t leaking after lunch today but I’d check and see. It’s been raining  and misting since about 10 this morning. Took some pics this time. Water dripping down both sides. I sent him some pics and he said that’s all he needs for the next warranty claim and he’s going to have to go to GM to find out what to do next. I’m guessing a new window. They also looked at the truck yesterday and couldn’t believe they let it out with the headliner stained and have agreed to replace it. The headliner is back ordered but that’s not their fault.

To replace your headliner the windshield must be removed. GM's fix for the rear window is silicone first, 2nd attempt is a different sealer, 3rd is supposed to be a new window. I've been waiting for my back ordered new window for 2 months now.

This will be the third rear window fix. The windshield will most likely be broken during removal and have to be replaced but they can’t order a new one until the one breaks during removal.

They removed my windshield to replace my headliner and as far as I know, they didn’t break the windshield. He’s hoping for a good outcome!

2 months!?

My dealer here in so cal ordered mine about 10 days ago.  It was back ordered but I got a call a week later saying it was in.  Scheduled the install for this morning but then they cancelled because they said they never got confirmation from their outsourced installer.  Now it's looking like it might be going in later this week.  We'll see!

Ugh, I just called my dealer with the info you provided and they tell me "The people on the forums are wrong", can yu do me a favor when your truck is done, PM me your work order reciept once your truck is done so I can show my dealer, the dealers love telling customers the forums are wrong just to cover their butts. If you would I'd appreciate it, if not I understand.

I would also appreciate this info.  Thanks. 
now 43 days out of service waiting on fixes.

      Some Assembly is Required

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
