My leak came from the spoiler bolts. Wasn't as bad as yours though. Mine was just a wet head liner that quickly dried. just happened to be driving in the rain with someone in the back seat that noticed it. They replaced/resealed the bolts and has been working so far. 

Did they pull out the headliner to fix? I know mine is but they said when they pull the liner out, it is going to look like crap after reinstallation.

It seems some of these truck’s issues stem from the upper end options. Not to make light of any problems but that is a big reason I went with a WT(and because I’m cheap) it has a solid rear window(at

Went to solid rear window. really happy with it. Always liked the look even if it was less one upgrade option. The old window was a mess, cracked at the top/bottom of each "slider" section. Kind of sh

I like the look too of the solid rear window. Looks clean.

They did pull the liner, went back in fine. I was more worried about the water stains but they cleaned it up pretty good too. I asked what they used and was told window cleaner

Add my 2019 sierra. It's dripping water from headliner over rear window. Nice water spot on a 54000 dollar vehicle. Only 34000 miles on it alas 4 years old. S O B.

Back to the dealer mine will go.  Confirmed it is leaking yesterday.  Leaking from above the rear window. About the same spot on both sides.

Where do you think it’s coming in at? Do you have the five clearance lights on the roof? Wonder if it’s from there?

I don't think the clearance lights would come into play here.  I have them on my truck and they are just above the windshield seal.  To me if they were leaking it would show up on the front of the headliner not the back.  But I could be wrong because I am quite bit lol....

Sometimes water intrusion moves before it pools. So it can come in one place and quickly move to another spot. But yeah, not sure on this one.

Has to be from the rear spoiler bolts.  The leaks are not around the actual window.

Fortunately I don't have this problem with my truck but I do have a question.  Do you have to remove the headliner to get to the spoiler bolts or is this something that is easily checked from the outside?

The tsb associated with the leaking rear window says the headliner has to come out and they remove and reseal the window.  I don't know though, because the leaks in my case look to be from about 3-4 inches above the window.  My headliner is discolored, not sure what they will do about that, if it stays that way due to being stained.  

 

The girl I talked with at the dealer to make an appointment was clueless.  She said she didn't know anything about a tsb for the leak.  They have me down to look at it next Friday.  Still raining here, and my truck doesn't fit in the garage.   Hopefully don't get water in the floorboards/carpet, sure don't need mold in a truck that cost this much. 

 

Considered trading it in, until I priced out a 24 with the build website pretty well equipped the same.  The MSRP was over $73 grand...

That sucks big time.  I hope you get a resolution to this problem quickly..

You don’t have that small spoiler on your truck? Thought they all do? Comes out over the top of the rear window like 4” or so

I do.  I was just wondering where the bolts originated.  Like is it attached from the inside under the headliner or are the bolts visible from the topside.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
