What's the electrical boxes under the window power? 

One of them might be the Video Processor Module. The other could be the Onstar Module.

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.

I got hooked on reading through this entire thread and the fact that the problem has carried over into some 2020's makes me thing twice about dropping money on one of these new gen trucks in a year or two. No matter how much they test this stuff still happens. Leaky window is never acceptable no matter the price point of a vehicle.  

If I would have known about the windows leaking I would have thought twice. Every time I go to my truck after it rains thats the first thing I check.

In the pic, the silver finned one is the Bose amp. The one next to it is the power inverter for the 110v outlets. My truck also has what I believe to be the video processor for 360 cameras, down on the pass side below the sliding window motor. It doesn't look to be equipped on the truck in the pic. There is also a small module down on the driver’s side which if I recall is the park sensor module. Depending on the options your truck has, you may have all or none of these modules to even worry about.
 

Nevertheless, all of the modules looked to be potted / sealed except for the inverter which presumably has to be open for heat dissipation. There is also a piece of foam between the seat and these modules which may divert some water.

So apparently my new window is in already. So I have the option to install the seam sealer fix over top of the new window before they put the spoiler on as a "double" line of defense. Thoughts?

I think I'm leaning towards just the window as I would want to know if the frame cracks right away again. Versus having it crack and be covered by sealer only to leak again in a year when the sealer fails.

Tough call. Unfortunately based on the info here, I really feel like it’s only a matter of time until the replacement window cracks. I’d be inclined to want to see it as soon as it does.


But then you do wonder if the sealer is applied over the top right away, would the window ever crack in the first place? Or would the sealer give it enough “reinforcement” to prevent it? Probably not. Just thinking out loud.

Well it very well could be a factory installation issue compounding the cracks in the frame. If I get a really experienced glass installer which is what my service advisor requested from the glass company, a fine install job in the new window may be the difference in it never cracking.

Only time will tell. Like when I load up my truck up to the gills, hook up my 4,000 lb travel trailer and back it in and out of my steep driveway on a 45 degree angle. You want to talk about body flex and stress. If that doesn't crack the frame I should be good to go.

2019 sales numbers are out - 807,xxx trucks sold in 2019.  Wonder how many have leaks?  1%? 5%? 25%?

The real question is what % have leaked so far, how many will leak in 2020, how many will leak before warranty expires, and how many after the warranty. Can you imagine these sitting on lots as used vehicles in 3-5 years... I am surprised Consumer Reports, Edmunds, TFL, KBB, or any other publication hasn't reported on this, yet.

That’s my exact plan.  Use it up until the warranty runs out and then get myself a new body tundra.  Or hell, maybe I’ll go nuts and get a Cybertruck

I got my truck back on Friday, 1/3. It does indeed have a new rear window. However, I verified that the glass was manufactured by the first GM supplier and not the new supplier. At least it doesn't leak.

how were you able to verify this? By part number? My new window is sitting with my truck in the shop ready to be installed Thursday so I would love to know which it is.  I’ve been assured it’s the new design / new supplier window.

I took pictures and videos of the truck before I dropped it off. I also received a 2020 Silverado loaner. Between the pictures and the loaner, I was able to verify the two different glass suppliers on the actual glass. The 2020 had the new supplier glass whereas my 2019 still has the same supplier glass before and after the replacement.

1. Anyone know when they switched suppliers and how can you verify which window is in your truck. I have a 2020 build date 9/19 so I’m guessing I could have either?

Just a heads up, my 2020 denali built in usa is leaking from the front I think, had radio off the other day and heard water flowing as I stopped, and again once I started off, being my truck had all weather mats I never knew till I raised them up I had soaked front carpet both sides and even the rears were damp. At dealer now, a water intrusion specialist (their words) is coming tomorrow to check out and hopefully fix it. never washed yet a little over 1k miles and 6 weeks old. we have had severe rain several times. fyi.... I read gm does not water test every truck, they only do a random selection and test from the assembly line.

FUYAO is what is on my Oct. 2018 Fort Wayne built Silverado. I can't remember or find the picture of the name on the 2020 loaner that I had.

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Okay boys and girls I put a bottle of this in Dizzy the oil burning guineapig after a tank between the coil and plug service of the #3 hole and near the end of the first R&P 5W30 attempt. As a note I did a two R&P oil changes back in October of 2025 with little effect. Granted they were 1K mile a shot oil changes so.... Then followed by fourteen  1K mile changes of Mobil 1 Euro 5W30 FS. Also ineffective.    Anyone who has followed the adventures of Dizzy may remember that to put the oil on the full mark of the published nominal 5 quart change I withhold about a cup of oil. That over the last 50K miles the P0420 light has been a frequent flyer, sometimes three of four a day. And that even on 93 octane fuel she registers some KR even in moderate conditions on favorable days on slight inclines. Lastly when giving her a kick in the pants, something done about once a week, she looks like a diesel with the pump turned up. 😬   After one bottle and over the last 500 miles of a 3K mile OCI, of the first oil change I dropped the nastiest looking oil ever in her history. That's saying something as  you will recall I have used AutoRx, HP EC30/40 and a few other harsh solvents in her before including the GM top soak twice. This was syrup. Black stinky, inky syrup but the filter wasn't all that bad.    On the second fill I had to use the entire 5 quarts to reach the full mark. That was unexpected! The ignition KR is completely gone! Even at 99% engine load. MAP is much lower. Level road is now 9.8 instead of 12.5. Fuel economy is remarkably higher and for the first time since her earliest days she will spin to 6500, more than a thousand higher with out laying down dead. Yes, the coil and plug had something to do with that but remember the first 2500 miles after that repair on the first change it was same ole same ole Dizzy. Seems we have top rings that are somewhat functional again. P0420 code only comes on now if run in town for more than an hour of stop and go. On the open road it goes weeks without a incident. Perhaps it is cleaning the cat on the pass through?  Fuel Trims have improved as well. Nothing not to like.    To early to say about oil economy but the changes to date in the operational aspect is remarkable. I can't think of a worse case than Dizzy.... It's already paid for itself in a few tanks of fuel with the mpg improvement.    @OnTheReel, I'd say if the Jeep didn't respond perhaps there wasn't an issue to respond to.    I've run the Red Line SI-1, AMSOIL fuel cleaner, GUMOUT and Techron all in this SUV without any such results. Color me impressed. I'll be running out my supplies of the list mentioned and moving on to the Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Homer1959 · Posted

      Hey Chuck !!Thanks for the all the info I'm an old fart and I have everything I need for the oil change at home,minus flexibility .... and I’ve been doing my own oil changes for 40 years. I just didn’t want to end up without a crush washer or with the wrong one in my stash and have to walk to the auto parts store, lol. I climbed under the truck to check the location, and man, it’s going to be the easiest oil change and filter swap in the last 40 years—right up there with my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4. No mess, nothing to drip on—just perfect. I’ve got one more free oil change to use, and then that’s it with the dealership!

      2027 3.0l - ordered

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think this subforum was created for the new generation pickup trucks (2027-) with the 3.0 but I don't think it's a big deal either way. There are probably 2027 model-year specific changes for the SUV's too.   I was just curious if you had issues with your 2025 3.0. I'm still under 10k miles on mine and fingers crossed I don't have thrust bearing issues. I'm guessing not, since you're willing to buy another one! It's a good engine minus one or two manufacturing whoopsies.
