1500 cab rear window water leaks

[Thi]

Any thoughts on my water leak? It seems to leak into the cab at the rear window seal (the big window, not the slider). Has this been a problem? If we pour water into the channel above the rear window at the upper, driver side corner (or at carwash or in the rain) then it leaks inside at the very top of the window. Also, we do not know where the stain on the headliner in that same corner came from. It does not leak right inside the third brake light so we don't think it's the light, and we haven't seen problems with the sliding window or drains. I attached three photos.

Just got off the phone with RAM Care and the 3rd brake light has an extended warranty but not the rear window. It was worth a try.

Interesting because my friend is getting his rear window replaced under warranty because it cracked on his just bought used 2020. As far as he knows no extended warranty was purchased on it from the original owner. He is getting water above his head somehow (I don't think it's the glass)

The headliner is only stained in the corner. Do you think the water can drip in at the third brake light and not soak through until the corner?

This is a known problem. Sometime its the antenna and sometimes the break light, but it can also be around the window frame. They had to replace my whole window after the first rain, three weeks after I picked up my 2021 Limited last year. I bet its the whole window frame. Its been a problem for years

Just found mine leaking today, you can see the light through the crack, the dealer said they have to have a leak specialist to look at it .nd they only work Mondays. This Monday is a holiday go figure, anyway having my dash replaced, auto steps replaced, wheels replaced, steering wheel replaced, ram boxes replaced on Tuesday, after waiting since August last year, this truck is a POS, I bought it as a retirement gift when I retired from the Navy, and the dealers suck, so beware. I had to call RAM to get my parts finally, and they came in a week, stay on the dealer if you wait longer than a month call RAM. Also anyone doing a law suit, I want in. This is my third Ram and my last, had them for 30 years. They lost my business.

@RamCares can you advise on these guys’s problems?! Also, did they fix this issue with the 2022’s? Thanks

Wow - that is a phenomenal number of issues! It reads like you got the truck with every known problem. I hope they fix it for you quickly so you can sell it while prices are still up

Rear window leak

Maybe the hellwig sway bar will help, it definitely stops a lot of the body roll, who knows? Was thinking this, it might, a little. I also wonder if people who off-road more, or just drive over rougher roads/terrain more often will be more likely to get this.

I noticed my leak right after the bumper to bumper warranty expired due to mileage. Factory extended warranty wont cover the window replacement. theres a cheap fix and a $1500-1800 fix. I tried the cheap route and it has been dry as a bone since. Granted my crack was not a gaping hole like navyhemi. This should be a recall in my opinion, serious design flaw.

For what it's worth, I went online and found the list of dealers with their top service award. I went to one of those and they're working with Ram to try to fix my cracked rear window frame under "good will". My 2019 is out of the factory 3 year warranty but has 25k miles on it.
