Need help with leaking sunroof

[KaraKoç]

So my 2019 Ram Laramie 1500 came with a leaky sunroof when I bought it in Jan 2021. Long story short, it is covered under warranty and dealer I took it to has ordered new seals (there was tech bulletin about it I understand). But I noticed that the two glass pieces do not sit flush when it is closed. I looked at a new 2021 Ram Laramie 1500 in the showroom at the dealer, it has a sunroof and the pieces are flush when the sunroof is closed. I wonder if anyone here with a 2019 Ram 1500 that has a sunroof can post picture of their sunroof in closed position (or just confirm the pieces are flush against each other).

I attached a picture showing a height difference on the left (red arrow) and on the right there is hardly any height difference (blue arrow). To me this difference alone means it is something mechanical. Any thoughts, experiences with this problem, or if you have a Ram 1500 with a sunroof please chime in.

I think you're absolutely right. Possibly the sunroof is off track? Mine sits flush . Is the leak coming from the middle of the glass? Any pics from inside?

Thanks for confirming the flush fit. I am not sure where the water is coming from. Dealer tested for a leak and the drivers side trim on the pillar was full of water. I think they just used a hose to spray water and it leaked into the truck far more than what I have seen after snow or rain.

Mine was the same way when I took delivery. Brought it in to 2 different dealers and they said it was normal, granted all I was complaining about was wind noise since it rarely rains down here in socal. What I ended up doing was adjusting it myself. All you have to do is tilt the panel up to expose the torx bolts holding the panel to the frame and loosen them. Then adjust as necessary. Hope this helps

Thanks for chiming in! If that is the case with mine as well it would be awesome! I will take a look at it later today.

Edit: I found this thread when searched wind noise: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/wind-noise-from-the-sunroof.3576/post-121451

Update: dealer replaced the seal and realigned the sunroof. Now it sits flush on both sides and dealer said no more leaks from sunroof. But they found leak from the driver's side A pillar Basically I have to take the truck back for the driver's side fender to removed and a fix applied. Details are in this thread: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/add-me-to-the-list-water-leaking.12090/

Glad to hear the sunroof issue is resolved, but sorry to hear you still have a leak. It sounds like your dealer is one of the good ones and is taking care of you well.

Yeah I was shocked to hear there is another leak. Yes, the dealer has been great so far. The fact that they fixed the sunroof issue was great news for me. On top of that they identified another leak issue and will make arrangements with a body shop to schedule me in. So the dealer have exceeded my expectations.

Question for you...

Did you notice any sounds (creaks or cracks) coming from your sunroof?

Mine has been making these sounds. Started happening about a year after delivery. I spoke with my dealership and all they did was spray jigalube all over the seals (which also ended up all over my interior). The noises happen mostly when engaging the suspension on a corner (I.e. entering my driveway on a turn). I have also recently noticed two hairline cracks in the interior trim just above my rear window. Wondering if there is any correlation or if anyone else has encountered this issue

How did this come out for you? Where was the other leak?
