All the best to you and your family. 
Thanks. Don't worry I'll be back. I took April 1st 2020 in the office bet for my next leak as that is the 1 year anniversary of my first leak.....

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.

Mine developed the window leak now. It's a 2019 Crew Cab with a December 12, 2018 build date. It's going in on Monday for the leak and several other things. I had some speakers installed today and the shop told me that the back of the speakers were wet when they took them out. I'm beyond irritated with this.

So i found this forum because i recently purchased my 2019 Silverado and i also have this leak. I purchased a 2019 Silverado RST Z71 Crew Cab and 2 days later noticed that the rear window was leaking. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership on the 3rd day, less than 72 hours from day of purchase. The dealer has a 72 hour return policy. Unfortunately i also had a trade in which was a 2000 dodge dakota which they gave me 3k for in trade value. The dealer has done the initial repair of adding sealant to the top of the window channel. The service department called me and stated they completed the repair according to the service bulletin but it was still leaking and they were waiting to hear from the chevy rep to figure the next repair. They said it would be about a week before the chevy rep was back in their store...i told them that was unacceptable. I called the sales individual and told them i would be coming to the store the next day to discuss the matter. Obviously the sales person has no reach to accomplish anything and decided to speak with his sales manager. He stated he was going to look through their inventory and see if they could find a like vehicle to possible trade me into, which i think they just said that to get more time for the window repair. I opened a case with chevy and the next day i get a call stating my vehicle was repaired and ready for pickup. I went to the dealer and went over it with a fine tooth comb. There was rust buildup on one of the seat bolts, and whoever put the sealant on took no care whatsoever. Its a seamless window for a reason. I talked with the sales manager and told him i will not accept the truck in its current condition. Supposedly the store manager is still looking for a replacement but im not holding my breath. I guess my truck is a little harder to find as it has a sunroof which usually came on the higher models. Im just at a loss and have no idea what to do. This is all new to me as I have never purchased a brand new vehicle, let alone one that cost 45k. What should i do?!?!

I would continue to hold your ground and not accept the vehicle until it is in acceptable condition for you.  See if they can’t undo the deal and get your Dakota and money back.

Unfortunately my Dakota is long gone. My biggest thing, this being a new truck and my first ever purchased new vehicle, i dont want to own a vehicle that has had previous water damage. The only extent i know for water damage is rust built up on my jack, and now the one on the middle seat brackets. Which shows me they didnt look for any water damage because i only told them about the rust on the jack. Also my truck has the cloth seats.

I wouldn’t expect the dealer to take the truck back at their expense. They’re a dealer, not GM. Your battle is with GM. Good luck. With any car company you’ll need it. It’s not just GM. They are all awful to deal with. Be nice to your dealer. It’s your best bet.

The dealer /GM would give you a equivalent vehicle. From the Robison Lemon Law Group

What is a Lemon Law Buyback?

A lemon law buyback refers to the process in which a vehicle manufacturer is either forced to or voluntarily reacquires a vehicle because of a warranty defect which substantially impairs the use, safety, and value of the vehicle. A buyback generally takes place at the conclusion of a lemon law dispute, following arbitration and trials (if necessary).

Typically, these buybacks result in a full refund of funds spent towards the purchase or lease of the vehicle (including down payments, monthly payments, registration), alongside reimbursement for incidental expenses such as a rental car or towing costs.

Any outstanding balances on automobile loans related to the vehicle will also be paid off in full by the manufacturer.

The main exception to the blanket refunds associated with lemon law buybacks is known as a “usage fee,” which a manufacturer is entitled to deduct based upon the period of time the vehicle was operated absent issue and the value of the miles placed on the vehicle prior to the first time it was taken in for repairs. You may also be responsible for additional taxes, if applicable.

Got mine back tonight. Window was replaced with the same make and model my 2020 came with from the factory. I was very upfront with my dealer about the bad experience I had before with the glass company and my truck getting scratched and greasy fingerprints. It was obvious they were stressed this had to be done perfect. My truck was detailed inside and it looked like it came off the showroom floor. They washed the outside more on that in a minute.

There was a good sized chip in my paint on the rear rocker from them getting in and out with boots on. Not a big deal should touch up with a drop of paint. That was about it I thought. Then I noticed the middle seatbelt was twisted. Not a big deal. Just need to undo the bolt and untwist it.

Then I ran to the store and it was warm out (42 deg, yeah that's warm here). So I cracked the sunroof and opened the rear slider. Something seemed off. I hit the button for the rear window again and nothing. They must have forgotten to hook up the rear window. So we went through all that and nobody thought hey should I check if this window works before I put it back together? I mean really? So now I have to drop it back off. Hopefully it just isn't connected and will be quick fix. God if they have to install another window...

My truck only has 2000 miles so with early snow, and hunting season I didn't really give the truck a good wash yet or pay much attention because bit was covered in mud. But since my dealer washed it I looked at it in the dark with a flashlight. Granted it is black but what the heck, my truck looks like it was sand blasted. I hand washed it with some soap and it doesn't really come off.. some of it did it I picked at it but not really. The front quarter panels, and bumper have it all over but just a few speckles on the rest of the truck. Any idea? I don't think it's water spots. Almost looks like white paint overspray?35c19ff94fa83ccf105629298ee22345.jpg

Interesting looking at your FUYAO new back window.   I thought I was one of the luck ones with no problem and I found that my 2019 LTZ is leaking on both sides in the back as well.

My leaking window is a FUYAO but the PN next to it is slightly different.  Mine is a PN 43R-0115130 vs your 43R-000072.   Is this the number w should be looking for as far as a fix?

Seems odd to me I never heard of (or had) a leak until the weather got cold. Now everyone has them left and right. Maybe some bad plastic window framing and cold weather, plus add some frame twist = crack and leak. Anyone in south FL had a leak?

I'm in AZ and mine just started leaking over the weekend - add me to the list 2019 LTZ

I'd be curious as to everyone's build date.... My AT4 has just under 3,000 miles on it and I'm soooo hoping it never develops the leak. My build date is 9/23/2019... PLEASE, knock on wood, that it doesn't start.

I am in the exact same boat. 2020 AT4, build date 9/19, build in Mexico. I check the back window for leaks and bolts under the seats during and after each rain. I LOVE the truck, but between the window leak and brake issues I feel like I’m walking on egg shells.

Mine was built in Mexico too, I believe all the crew cabs are. Yeah, I just hope these things won’t happen with mine, time will tell...

Well, three weeks later after TSB caulk job and mine is leaking again. Not as bad, but a little water staining appearing after each rain. This time only on passenger side. I have towels behind the headrest and they don't appear to really get wet, but I clean the window and the water stain comes back after it rains. Not sure if I should have a new window put in if the defect is in the window assembly itself. What's to stop the replacement from doing this too. ????

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.
