07 Nbs Gmc Roof Leak?


Recommended Posts

Posted

A friend got in my reg. cab truck, went to buckle the seat belt and said the belt was wet. I took a closure look today. Pulled the passanger side rear pillar cover off, pulled out the carpet along the back of the cab, and pulled up the carpet on the floor(wet). Sure enough a puddle of water in the rear corner. There was water inside the pillar the seat belt tensioner bolts to also. Then I look up and notice the rear corner of the headliner is a little wet, and that some of the headliner is also a little water stained, so it must have been leaking for a while. I pulled the rear speaker and it had some water on it also. Now I'm thinking it must be leaking from the seam on top the truck for water to be up this high and this far in side the cab. I take a look at it and notice the the small weather strip/ molding that runs from the top rear of the door opening back to the rear glass is barely fastened down.(uses double sided tape) Anyway I think the water is coming from this area. Anyone hear of or have a problem like this? I'll be taking it in to the dealer in a day or two.

I have had this problem already. Took the truck to the dealer and the third brake lamp was diagnosed as a bulletin issue. Lamp got replaced and no more leak......there anyway..... Several weeks ago, we had a lot of rain (3" in less than 8 hours) and I got in the truck and recieved a shower from around the sunroof. Back to dealer and found that there was debris in one of the drain tubes. No more problems, yet, knock on wood. :thumbs:
