2021 Ram Cab Leak -

[caseyburns59]

I've read a bunch of posts but not sure I'm having the same issue. I checked my rear light and it seems to be dry behind it and no evidence of water. However as you can see from the pictures It was coming in pretty heavily today over the course of about an hour. I had an issue with the dome light not turning off a couple weeks ago, so I'm guessing there is some corrosion as well. I have had the windshield replaced about 4 months ago as well.

Any ideas? I haven't even called the dealer yet. I also need to ask about my rear left shock as that is leaking oil/ fluid from the seal. I've read mixed answers on if the leak is covered or not. I'm in the RI/MA area if that matters at all.

you are under 36k miles so it should be cover - sorry I got no advise on possible issue - maybe the shark fin antenna and its running down towards the front.

It seems odd to have a leak in the back getting water in the sunglass holder, but not impossible. I would think the most likely to be a sunroof if equipped, or windshield if not. Can't tell definitely from video.

Sorry it isn't come out of the sunglass holder. It's dripping out from the fabric/ headboard next to it. I don't have a sunroof either. It poured last night and it's dry as a bone, so i have no idea.

I made an appointment at the dealer for next week, but don't feel confident they will find the issue I guess.

Show them the video. If they are doing a quick leak test, they may run water, and if they don't see anything, just say no leak found, but If they know for sure there is a leak, they should hit it with water from every angle until they find out where.

Take the molding off the roof seams and look for any gaps where the two pieces of sheet metal join together

I had a leak in this spot on the 17 I used to have. There was a huge gap in the seam that was not sealed. It was fixed under warranty at a body shop. I had to make them do it 2x though because after the first the black molding strip was crooked and bent and excessive sealant all over. The second try was way better.

How do you get the moldings off without damage. I couldn't figure it out by just looking at them.

Do the moldings come in body color or are they always black like the shark fin?

From what I remember they're held on with plastic clips and pop right off with some gentle prying
