CarComplaints.com Notes: It didn't take long for the cladding to fade, discolor, and in some cases crack. Cladding is the protective plastic piece that runs along the outside of vehicles, and exposure to both heat and UV rays give the Avalanche's cladding a chalky, faded appearance.
Owners have said the problem is especially bad on the panels near the cargo bed. Eventually, GM agreed to a one-time treatment of ArmorDillo, a protective treatment similar to what you find in any auto shop. Unfortunately, that would only help for 6 months (on average).
Eventually, GM offered another coating solution for owners within the 3 year / 36,000 mile original warranty under TSB:04-08-111-001C.

brand new four months old and leaks water inside and everything in my bed was ruined by getting soaked. If I wanted a car that leaked water I would of bought a 1985 pontiac Fiero or a 15 year old car then you would understand about water leaks. I took to dealer 10/11/2005 we will see if they can fix it but I do not see how.
