Rear window area Minor water leak

[Darkenuf]

Has anybody experienced a minor water leak inside their truck in the back seat area?
I have already checked the Rear window for the frame cracks and the 3rd brake light area.

The leak only seems to happen when going thru car washes. I get at least 1-2 drips on upper seat area near head rest and the headliner edge is also damp not soaked
I am thinking possibly the Sat antenna but do not know how to remove and check

common complaint here. Hundreds of posts on it. Check any cab penetration.

Thank you for the reply

I have contacted my dealer who will be having a Leak pro detection company come a look at my truck to determine where the leak is coming from

The issues with rear window cracks and leaks is developing. More and more owners are reporting these issues with the rear windows.

I have to be honest I keep reading about issues people are having with relatively new trucks. I just bought 2019 Rebel coming from a Tundra. Don't know but I feel like I might have made a bad decision

I hear ya. Usually if ur on a owner forum and all ur seeing are negative posts, you’ll just start focusing on that or looking for that with ur vehicle. It’s hard not to, but I like to read about potential issues or concerns but only to be aware of them just in case. You just have to try and enjoy ur vehicle and if something comes up then deal with it at that time. I’ve learned it’s just not worth the self caused stress.

It is also all over fb ram forums with pictures of the leak issue

Hey Mark if you could get me info on this for a specialist that would be perfect. I was denied warranty coverage for this same issue. Waiting on call back from Chrysler since dealer won’t do anything to help. Thanks

Well I finally got a date next week to drop off my truck for a leak detection company to come and diagnose the leak. According to my service advisor the company coming has already diagnosed several rams in the last few weeks with faulty rear sliders, some cracked and others not cracked. When I get it back I will update further.

Well got my truck back turns out the antenna and back window there was nothing wrong with, issue was the third brake light had a hairline crack in it. Vehicle was water tested before and after and leak was gone.
