Is this the roof leaf that they stopped production to fix? I checked multiple times and they say my truck is not under a recall but I appear to have some leaking on my passenger side rear roof.

 

I'm having it looked at tomorrow buy a dealer. What can I tell them to cut right down to the chase and not BS around?

Anything is possible, but it shouldn't be the roof tear.  Those trucks were all placed on a stop sale that were on lots to be fixed, and it was a very small window of trucks.  

 

Judging where your leak is, I'd be more inclined to think the rear window or the roof spoiler.

I appreciate the responses. It's a 2024 Sierra 1500 Denali that was purchased mid January and production was October or november, I'll have to check my sticker. It was definitely produced during the time frame. My 2023 that was previously totaled did not have this issue and I visited the car wash way more

If you have a new 2024 model truck, you should update your avatar to the correct info.

Where the headliner stops and meets the window. Look along that and see if the plastic window frame has a crack. Another thing it could be is the bolts that hold the spoiler on did not seal well when they were tightened. Here is the crack my 20 had when they took the window out for replacement.

They removed the headliner and have confirmed there is a leak. They are struggling to identify the source at the moment. It is very small and basically drips where I showed.

 

They said the usual suspects, back glass, rear roof spoiler do not seem to be the cause. I referred them to the GM Authority roof weld  cracking procedure/issue. They have to keep it until next week unfortunately.

 

GM social Media team says they will check on it next week. It's really frustrating such a new/expensive truck has an issue like this. They better fix it correctly.

Here's one of two fractures I found on the brittle plastic frame at the top edge of the rear glass. Repaired it back in December with a tube of 3M Urethane Seam Sealer, 08367, Black Color and it never leaked again. Just run a bead of this self leveling sealer alone the entire length of the plastic frame so water will never settle in the channel.

Is that photo taken from inside the cab or from the bed of the truck?

Taken from the outside looking down with the spoiler removed.

Here's a pic after applying the seam sealer. The sealer was glossy black. Blue painters tape was used to prevent any spillover onto the outside of the rear glass. Also, notice the circular rings of 3M windshield butyl tape I place around every bolt hole for the spoiler. I didn't trust the original foam washers that were deformed under compression when the spoiler was bolted from the factory.

If you are not aware already, this is a common problem that many have already posted about on this forum.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
