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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
