Like @mikeru82 just said, buy the light yourself. There are some discount sellers of oem equipment out there. Less than $50...heck, I think it's less than $30. And, get some permatex (the stuff we've talked about upstream) and caulk the outside of the window. That -should- fix it. (FWIW, my...

Lawyer? Join the class action lawsuit (when able)? Contact a local news channel and link them to all the reports of leaking windows on this forum?

I guess the journalists didn't store their gear in the rear passenger area during a rainstorm. Or else it would have gotten soaked due to the widespread leaking rear window issue. RAM needs to publicly address this and extend the warranty on it.

I think a modification of the rear bulkhead is in order. I wonder how difficult it would be to add waterproofing, or water routing, onto or around the various boxes bolted to the rear bulkhead? If I get another rear window leak, the moldy carpet is bad enough: I can't imagine the pain of having...

Oil is life for diesels.

LOL. My son has a 22 Big Horn with factory-supplied McGard security lugs, one on each wheel. Like an imbecile, he lost the key. I gave him some of my spare, normal, lugs. He's stopping by a dealership today or tomorrow to have the locks removed. Do you want them? (Again, no key, but that's...

I'd do the same. Unbelievable. This window leak issue seems to be pretty widespread, as is the damage that occurs because of it. I'd think a bit of internal waterproofing would be instituted, immediately, for all in-production vehicles, and an open acknowledgement of the problem should have...

Ditto. Winter blend has affected my mpg, significantly, on both EcoDiesel and VW TDi.

They don't pay. I've kept my records and will use them when the class-action lawsuit comes down.

Good. I've been hearing that we've been at "peak oil" since the early '70s. Shrug. (Not sure whether or not petroleum (hydrocarbons) are actually formed from squished dinosaurs and plants. That's a theory that was posited about 150 years ago and since accepted for fact. Note, I'm also NOT...

Supposedly, the "fix" was implemented in mid-2019 model year production. Obviously, it didn't work. (The frame cracking that's visible from inside the cab may be fixed, but not the leak.) My 2021 took about a year to show a leak.

Okay, I was right. :) True. But whereas a barrel of petroleum contains FAR more energy than it takes to drill it, pump it, refine it, and transport it, the same cannot be said for the energy extracted from the hydrogen cycle. Yes, fusion is the future. Fission is an excellent bridge until we...

This thread (and the other one) show how widespread this issue is. I'm sure you're aware, but I'll repeat it: there -is- a class action lawsuit filed about this. I don't know how to sign on or what its status is. RAM needs to step up, or there will be thousands of customers looking for a bit...

I'll not write what I want to write about where the minerals for batteries are mined, or the ecological costs of that mining, or the human misery. Instead, I'll just congratulate those who feel they're doing something with moral purpose when they buy their battery driven cars.

Wow. The only ones you’re missing are the dead battery one and the engine dying during a turn. Patience of Job…

I had some LED interference in the third brake light. I now have a red lasfit for the brake and white lasfit for the cargo lights and have no interference issues.

Well, so am I. :) At least, that’s what my degree shows. Again, as I stated, H2 does not exist in that state in any quantities on Earth. Sure, it may be common in the universe, but on Earth almost every hydrogen atom is chemically bonded to other elements. It takes ENERGY to release the...

I just did the top. The Permatex flowable silicon is too liquid to do the sides or bottom, IMO. It really is "flowable"!

Summary of my leak experience with my dealer: Discovered wet carpet in late November/early December, after getting into a cold truck after a rainstorm and having HEAVY condensation on windshield. As well, the left rear seat was soaked. (2nd occurrence of condensation on inside.) The next day...

Interestingly, my trip calculator, "B", reset itself after 10,000 miles. It's currently at 9,800 (total truck at 19,800). Curious what it'll do in 200 miles. But that indicator shows me the long-term mileage numbers. (Instead of the rolling 500 number in the eco calculator display.)
