Has anyone had this problems with their 2019 Ram Limited? If so , what did you do to fix it?

Or upholstery shop, a good one can up with a vastly cheaper fix or even a spot fit.

A good upholstery shop can probably restretch and reglue the existing leather

Leather wrapped door panel (heat damaged the glue) and he did recommend I go to vinyl



After, same leather panel, he disassembled and then reglued the panel. If/when it happens again, I'll go to vinyl but it was only $150 to fix that

Nice!

I would always just go with a high quality vinyl as well, just doesn't have as much issues as leather, one benefit of my Rebel over the higher trims is the vinyl dash, still looks great but I'm less worried about this happening to it.

This just happened to my brother’s ‘20 Limited. Bumper to bumper warranty has since expired. My ‘24 limited has a synthetic dash. Initially I felt screwed about the change from leather to synthetic, but I guess I don't feel so bad now.

I keep my cars long term and this makes me nervous. I have a Corvette and this was an issue when I was shopping also. I stayed away from models with the wrapped leather dash after reading so many horror stories. Now I'm starting to think maybe I should stick to searching for a Laramie model, instead of a LongHorn or Limited, to potentially avoid this issue. I do really like the upgraded interiors though.

I have had two corvettes with the same problem. Avoid the 3lt and 3lz models.

Agree, I've seen this problem alot on Corvette forum in the "3" cars

My wife's 3lt Corvette did the same thing when we owned it, although not very bad.

Leather panels/dashes and hot climates often have issues.

My brother is a Chrysler mechanic and he said that it’s va very common issue with all trims . I have a 2019 ram rebel that still good but he thinks that my front windshield ceramic tint helps to reduce the heat and also i always use a windshield cover when parked. I live in Flo so the weather is brutal. I also installed window visors so when I’m park i open the 4 of them one inch so the heat doesn’t stay inside so bad and probably that helps too

Your brother is mistaken. Your Rebel does not have a leather covered dash. Neither do Laramies and all trim levels below that. Only the Limited Longhorn and Limited have the leather covered dash. At least thru 2023 models. I have no idea about anything newer than that.
