My 17 GS suffered the seemingly common internal stress crack (Pass A Pillar to roof) and delaminated along the top edge. The Windshield was replaced under warranty and now I have a leak, but not from the windshield - the weather strip on the passenger side A Pillar / Window is the culprit. as evidenced by visually confirming the leak while washing.
Would replacing the weather strip be covered under warranty, or is the Glass Repairman Subcontractor responsible, or am I SOL and responsible to replace the weather strip myself?
I Googlesearched and I perused GMPartsdirect.com, and etc. but couldn't come up with a P/N for just the Weather Strip that seals the A Pillar / Window interface - can a Forum Member please provide the P/N? - TIA!
You're still within the 36/36000 original warranty. Mama Chevy covered the windshield, she should cover the leak problem with the weatherstrip. If the subcontracted windshield installers caused the problem, it's up the GM/dealership to recover the cost -- not you, you did not cause the problem.
I guess I don't understand the question. The installer needs to make it right. If it wasn't leaking before replacement, then it was caused by the replacement labor.

Yeah but they aren't going to do anything about it. Instead they will just say "it was like that that before we did our work" or something similar.
CTOF - 'Check The Obvious First' is a rule I try to live by. That being the chase here, the problem didn't exist before the Windshield Replacement and should be covered by Warranty/Dealer//Subcontractor. HOWEVER, since it is an easily replaced Weather Strip, I may forego the misery of dealing with it and just replace it myself - depending on the cost.
In any case, a P/N for the A Pillar/Window Weather Strip is wanted; 2017 GS Coupe. - can anyone provide it?
Googlesearching didn't help.

Just call your local dealer parts department. Unless there is a GM parts guy here, you wont find the info you are looking for. Kevin Jones is basically your only chance, but I think he is living well in retirement.
