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.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
