Just went through dealing with water leaking in the upper right corner of rear window. Apparently had been leaking for couple months and caused issues with the radio frequency hub under rear seat that caused a myriad of issues with in the truck one day last week.I have 49,483 miles on and never had any issues until the other day. Check engine light came on, TMPS fault came on and Run light went out on start/stop button and could not shut engine off. Even after disconnecting the battery engine still continued to run. Thankfully after about 10 minutes run light came back on and was able to shut truck off. Long story short dealer removed rear window and resealed and replaced Frequency Hub. I had to foot the $685.00 bill since basic warranty was out. Called Chrysler and filed claim for relief. Told them Rams are noted for this issue in which they did not deny see what happens.
So if you have FOB issues of not unlocking your doors,issues with start/stop button,tpms issues,look there.
 
Only $685? You got off cheap. That was for the rear window reseal and RF Hub? If so you got off REAL CHEAP.
 
I had my rear window replaced, not by the dealer and they told me it would never leak, they sealed it up real good. I had a slight dribble soaking the headliner in the top right corner and had droplets of water on top of the inside frame. I decided after reading through all these threads to try the butyl tape in the screws for the 3rd brake light and so far, knock on wood it isn't leaking anymore. So if you get the leak again try wrapping the very top of the screw with a little of the butyl tape just below the head of the screw and tighten it up. I removed the excess that bulged out of the screw hole and that seems to work. Did it on all 4. I hope you don't have to go through anymore with the leak however. take care.
