I just did this. Fixed my problem as well. Cheap and easy. Thanks!
same for me! The pain in the *** part is to remove and put back the baby car seat I have! I hate the hook of the tether strap the RAM does have. My 2018 Platinum Titan had a metal hook behind the seat, way cleaner and easier to remove.

I read a post where someone installed 16 gauge wire (29" length) into the gap between the glass slide track and the main plastic piece that runs across the entire back (this is not in the window track, but a small gap that can be opened between the window track and the main plastic assembly forward of the window track). With differences in wire types, which result in different girths of the wire, etc. I read posts where some people couldn't open the window, or the motor had to work very hard to open. I decided to try something standard...window screen retainer spline (.120 diameter). The window track is about 29" across, and if you look up behind the plastic assembly you'll see where the window track starts and stops on each side. I used a PLASTIC (not metal) 2" putty knife to pry enough space between the plastic assembly and the window track at the driver's side of the window track assembly with the window closed as there is no glass in the track at that end, making the prying easier. I forced the rubber spline into the gap and then worked my way across using the putty knife as necessary to force it into the gap. As you near the sliding window pane it will become more difficult. At that point open the window all the way, and then you only have a couple inches of difficulty...you'll need a little more force with the putty knife, but it should be no problem. Once you clear the sliding glass you're home free and may even be able to push it into the gap with just your fingers. I ran the spline a little further than the end of the window track (about 1/2") so I can pull it out later if I want to...but it is not noticeable at all. The window slides easily and the rattle is gone.

I just put the window spline in mine last night......rattle is gone and I can crank the stereo! My window won't slide though.....how far did you run the spline? I ran it from the driver side across to the end of the slider window.....but not all the way to the passenger side.

My 2019 Ram 12" UCONNECT radio volume is not working properly. When the radio is on I can't start hearing the volume until its on 10. Any suggestions?

You have the HK system? You need to go to the dealer for an amp enhancement update.

I did the amp update for the HK. You need to go at the dealer, the update is not through uconnect. But man, the update of the amp is crazy. It’s 150% better with the update

l find the HK system to be very satisfactory ... sounds great and have no complaints ... l will be adding the infinity speaker to center dash channel only for a little clearer high notes ... but while lm waiting on the speaker to arrive ... l just pulled the rear sub speaker out of the box today and added some poly fill from a pillow to tighten up the bass notes... much improved just with the fill... it is a completely empty encloser ... l have been doing this with other sub. enclosers in my past vehicles for many years ...
few pics of the sub. enclosure and speaker ... there is a big pocket to the right you cant see which is also stuffed w/ poly ....

Where is the sub located? Is it hard to get to for someone that's car illiterate?

I listened to it basically from 28-max volume the whole way home.. wife complained the whole time that it isn't loud enough..I was super depressed that I began having buyer remorse.. glad to read this thread.. And PRAYING the local dodge dealership here in town will do this update for me..
