It's raining....... IN my 08 silvie

  

Smooth08LTZ -> It's raining....... IN my 08 silvie (5/15/2008 8:51:22 AM)

Just dropped of my 08 Silverado LTZ at the dealer because it is raining out of the side post airbag port.  I did not pay for the water bag option though. The sunroof is leaking big time.  The dealer looked it up and apparently this is a common problem.  My question is has anyone else had this problem and had it fixed at the dealer AND did ONE trip to the dealer fix it or will it happen again?  I have duct tape and I'll just tape the sucker up....I hate sunroofs but this truck had everything else I wanted on it.

I had the same exact problem in my '07 LTZ.  I had water coming in through the dome light and on the side airbag location.  They told me it was a common problem as well and they fixed it in a few hours.  They had to re-route a drain.  I haven't had a problem since.  I'm wondering if they should issue a recall since my neighbor up the street had the same problem as well...

The leak can be caused by a number of things (all minor) a half way decent technician can resolve the issue in an hour or two on the first attempt.
Be sure to ask that that any water stained or damaged items (such as the headliner) be replaced as well.

My 07 LTZ has 14000 miles w/side air bags & Sunroof & is dry as a bone.

I went through a carwash in my '07 after a trip to wal-mart and i could hear a sound from one of the bags in the back seat like something was dripping on it. I had water leaking in through the back corner of the roof on the passenger side. I brought it to the dealer and they confirmed it was the dome light being sealed improperly. They disassembled it, cleaned it up, resealed it and tested with a pressure washer and it was smooth sailing afterwards. No more leak.

I went thru 3 failed attempts before my sunroof leak was fixed properly, on the 4th I had the shop foreman,service center manager, and the sales manager and stated my problem. At that time the latest TSB was out and along with the drivers side mirror,[3rd time], it was repaired correctly. My main lastest issue is with the thin paint on the truck.

Got my silvie back yesterday but I havent checked for leaks yet but they sure F'ed up the headliner with grease monkey paw prints!  That took another hour before they got it clean enough for my taste.  I did notice that the drivers side mirror is grawling when I fold it in via the button. AND some ASS door dinged me at Lowes.  Think I'll put her in the garage before a meteor hits it.
