Driver side footwell wet

[carl.net]

The driver-side footwell gets wet on my 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4x4 after it rains. I took my truck in for service and they were unable to find the issue and suggested I take it to a body shop. I tried sitting upside down in the driver’s side seat and having someone spray water on the truck while I looked for leaks. I was unable to see a leak. Before I take my truck to the body shop, I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue and knows the fix?

Either the 3rd brake light or the back glass or sunroof if you have one.

No sunroof, and the back carpet does not get wet, only the driver-side footwell.

Early Rams had an issue with a weld in front driver doorjamb not being complete (i.e had small gaps). Could be your issue. More info here

Add Me to the List: Water Leaking

5/19 build. I was hoping that by ordering late I could avoid some of these problems. I guess the factory still hasn't fixed the water leak problem. However, everything else works, and the AC is more than adequate on my Ram! Showed the Service Writer the video. She wants me to show the video...

Great responses! Thank you. Just called the Dodge body shop down the street, and they said yep. Bring it in and we will fix! I will report back on what they found.

It ended up being the upper part of the body seam above the top door hinge. The fix was about $250, including labor. Now I just need a good rain to see if what they fixed was the only leak. I greatly appreciate the pointers on here as it allowed me to do some initial troubleshooting which I belive saved me some money.

Good to hear you got it fixed.
