Anyone know how many screws hold the rear spoiler to the top of the cab?  Is it 2 only?

Many more than 2. There’s a pic of a member’s truck with the spoiler off a few pages back in this thread.

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 saw those pictures.  I see there were a few plastic retainers on the inside of the spoiler that snaps into the cab.  The TSB for the rear window leak sealant process looks like there’s only 2 screw around the third brake light once you drop the headliner. I know the picture may not tell the whole story.  
 

Reason I ask is I had the sealant done recently and I found one single 1 1/2” or so black bolt/screw (sorry not good with the terminology) on the backseat.  I’m guessing the tech didn’t put it back where it belongs.  I’d rather not go back to the dealership if it is not an immediate issue I need to address. But if my spoiler is only being held by 1 bolt and a few plastic retainers then I guess I need it addressed.

Ok, I got the sealant done today and the brake failure recall programming update. Praying they both work and I can stay out of the shop for a while. It’s snowing and really cold so I’ll give the caulking a good long time to cure correctly. The big test will be at the car wash next weekend. Fingers crossed!

Add me to the list.  Was washing my 2020 Trailboss LT and had water running down rear window, and collecting on top of seat backs..   I have an appointment at dealership on Thursday.  3200 miles.  Not happy

 

Pics taken.  The dealership said the 1st thing they do is spray water on it to see if they can replicate the issue.

How do you think i feel at day 88.  88 friggin days!!  Insane is be on how i feel.  

88 days... OMG!!    yea...  well my registration is due on mine and it's in the shop, i'm not happy about paying $750 for that right now. . hahah

 

I am calling GM every other day and complaining about this.  I also pointed them to this forum and explained there is almost 1000 posts about this junk.  I suggest you call them at 866-790-5600 and complain as well if you have not.   They will get tired of hearing from this group of people if we make them aware on a regular basis.   The dealerships do not care..

Smitty they don't care.  If they cared they would be fixing our problems with the parts they have on hand instead of manufacturing new trucks.  My headliner is still on backorder after it shipped three weeks ago and then never showed up.  All the customer service people do is tell you nothing and try to make you feel better.  They are trained to make you feel like they are on your side and working for you and your best interest.  They kept telling me that I just need to be a little more patient after 57 days.

I have.  I dropped my truck off on nov 8th,  they gave me a loaner,  in the mean time the dealership got bought out and they need there loaner back,  after a huge run around and arguing to get a new loaner i called gm customer service and opened up a case at the beginning of December ,  only to have the senior advisor close my case on dec 20th,  called them back in the middle of January only to have them tell me that they would have to open a new case.  What a joke.

I've asked for a truck instead of a car.  I've also asked to let me use one of the used ones on the lot so a new one wouldn't be depreciated and I'm still driving this stripped down Malibu.

Talking about the dealer. The service guy I have been dealing with has told me in every conversation you need to take this vehicle back to where you purchased it. Oh well. So yesterday i finally got to take it in for the new window. I was taking pictures of it sitting in line just documenting the condition. I asked the service guy, you don't check over the vehicle and document the condition? He told me no and then asked why I was doing it. I told him I want to make sure my truck is is new condition when I roll it out of here. His response was, it is not new, it has 4400 miles on it and a leaking window.  I just chuckled, what an ass.

Other then that all my contact with GMC and the service manager at the dealership has been a positive experience.

Then i said how the hell could you close my case out without me getting my truck back,,,  no answer to that

because they don't care.  Contact a lemon law attorney and proceed with them.  That may be the only way to get their attention.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
