Rear window surround crack.

I had my rear window replaced under warranty last year (5/4/21). It had the crack in the plastic on the passenger side of the sliding window. Fast forward a year... I noticed the new window started to leak on the same side (no crack this time), with water running down the passenger side window panel. I now have another new rear window (6/8/22), replaced under warranty as the first replacement was a "failed part".

Just noticed mine has 2 small cracks on either side of the sliding window lucky no water leak yet.

Will definitely leak, imo, keep watching itHey guys new here. Noticed this on my “new” used 2020 today. What do you think? Still under my 3/36k factory warranty.

Thanks for the heads up. It’s frustrating, I traded out of a 2020 trail boss that wouldn’t stop leaking (5 repairs and a replaced rear window) into another leaking truck.
Has the rear window been redesigned at all to prevent this from happening after a replacement?

Someone on this forum posted that the problem was the original sealant used around the rear window got too hard over time and would not allow the rear window & frame to flex and this caused the frame to crack; the factory switched over to a different sealer that remains flexible and will not cause cracks.

I’m going to ask specifically about this when my window assembly comes in

My rear window is leaking in my 21. From the top right rear corner. Either a small gap in the sealant or another issue in the body. Not leaking enough to the point for me to really care considering I’m gonna trade the truck in here shortly. Was kinda disappointed because I just had a 04 Silverado that I had purchased a few yrs early that had a leaking left rear window. Sold that truck due to the oil leaks and what not and then got into a 21 with a water leak.

It’s by time and miles. 3/36
Yes I’m past the 3 year mark so I understand the warranty is lapsed.

Well, mine is leaking again. I think it was dry for about a year, or at least I didn’t notice in about that long. I’m running out of warranty for these repeat fixes…

Looks like the leak is at the shark fin base again. They had a hard time reproducing the leak. They ordered a new antenna and gasket. Hopefully this will be the last time.

Welp the new rear glass lasted about a year. Now it’s leaking worse than ever.
My used beat to **** 95 Chevy s-10 somehow managed to stay waterproof its entire life.
Pretty frustrating that both of my rear windows lasted less than a year and half.
