Pano leak...not gutters

I went to the car wash today, touch free. I got some significant drippage from the pano sunroof. It's coming in from in-between the seam between the front and rear window seam of the pano glass. It's dripping on the console in the middle of the interior. I hope that makes sense? Basically the middle on the sun roof is leaking.
I have had 15 car washes all touch free and never had an issue with leaks. I checked the gutters and they appear normal and clear. And from what I've read that isn't the area that gutter overflow is the issue.
You think its just a high-pressure wash blowing the seam of something different?

Tough to say, likely from the high pressure, not sure where you live but if the weather cooperates, try a regular hose and some moderate pressure to see if you can replicate it. If so, hopefully under warranty and the dealer can address the issue for you. f not, then probably too much pressure from the wash disrupting the seal.

I've not had an issue, but when I go through the dryer, it blows through the roof so it could just be from the angle of one of the high pressure nozzles.

Glad I'm not the only one. Please let me know what they say. My 10k maintenance is coming up so I'll be talking to them soon enough.

Hey guys, same issue over here! Leaks like crazy. Felt like I was getting drenched. I have a 21’ with 7k and have taken thru multiple touch less washes without this happening before. Even opened sunroof completely open after leaving washer to check and all seals are in perfect condition with 0 debris.

Previous owned 19’ with pano roof and never once happened and I washed it religiously. Traded in for way too many other issues to list ha.
Keep me in look as to what dealership saying. I called mine today and they were concerned that in manual the have a WARNING that may help RAM get out of doing anything, but I found no such description. Interested to see what they come back with.

I didn't notice mine doing it initially. It took maybe 3 months to notice the leak. I wash my rig once a week since it's ceramic coated and I only use touch free. Never leaked during rain only under the pressure of the touch free. But if it's leaking after 6 months....can only imagine 6 years how much worse it'll be

Same look from the pic. I wonder if RAM will call this abnormal conditions? I'll tell them that it leaks in rain too....
