Would you mind posting a link or P/N for it ? Is it 81730 ?
I bought a tube of PermaTex flowable caulk.
It's quite obvious that the truck is or was leaking water. It could be from the roof mounted antenna, 3rd brake light or the rear sliding window. Bring to their attention and see what they say. If you're buying it from a ram dealer I'm very surprised that they would sell a truck with a badly stained roof liner.I am about to buy a used 2020 1500 Laramie quad cab, but noticed stains on the ceiling interior, both dirver and passenger. I've test driven many Rams , but this is the SECOND Laramie quad cab that I've noticed these water stains. Any reccomendations? Again, it's used but I'm curious if the dealer would back up their sale for at least a couple months on this.

Probably third brake light if the stains are in the corners. Looks like the frame is cracked as well. Hydrogen peroxide will get rid of the stains, Permatex around the window and a new gasket around the third brake light should solve the leak. Also, if it's a 2020 the AC is probably sub par and will need a heater core shut off.I am about to buy a used 2020 1500 Laramie quad cab, but noticed stains on the ceiling interior, both dirver and passenger.

That's exactly where mine was coming in.I joined the club yesterday afternoon after a monsoon rain here in Alabama. Weird thing is that my frame is not cracked. It is leaking around the window frame around the passenger side "C" pillar. The top corner of my seatback was damp and I had a few droplets on the C pillar trim. Took it into the dealership this morning and got a ticket started. They apparently have a windshield replacement company under contract with the local RAM dealerships. They stated that he would pressurize the cabin and find the leak and seal it up. I'm thinking it may be the drip seals on the roof. Seems to be too far away from the shark fin and 3rd brake light for them to be the culprit. Since mines an E-Torque I'd like to get it taken care of stat before it shorts out the battery pack. Also I'm about 142 miles away from my 36k warranty expiring.......
Well they did honor the warranty on it and preformed a pressurized cabin leak test. They checked all body seams, shark fin and 3rd brake light and found no leaks. Prior to them doing this the truck was sitting outside in a torrential downpour with tornado warnings in the general area as well and they stated that it was bone dry before starting the leak test. The only thing that they could figure is that it could possibly be the 3rd brake light. They stated it could be pooling and running down the channel of the rear window and leaking in along the corner of the C pillar, but with no leaks found in the pressure test, they couldn't pin point it being the true culprit. They did state that the 3rd brake light has a re-designed gasket to prevent water intrusion, but part is on national back order and there is no timeframe of receiving it. I really wasn't sold on their findings so if I do happen to have the leak again, I'll refer back to this thread and more than likely fix it myself, unless the frame does crack. Knocking on wood that doesn't happen..........That's exactly where mine was coming in.
If you're that close to the warranty they should honor it either way. Especially in good faith.
They had to replace my whole back window.
The headliner right above the rear window may get wet. Also may find that the water is making its way to the floor underneath the rear seatWhere is the most common place to find water/moisture from the rear window leak?
Thank you!The headliner right above the rear window may get wet. Also may find that the water is making its way to the floor underneath the rear seat
Not sure on the 2023s, but 2022s are reporting the issues still.Did Ram ever fix this with newer trucks?
It’s only been an issue since 2018 when the first 19’s came out, but still an issue on the 22’s very sad! Then when you take it to the dealer for this issue, they act like they have never heard of this, 5 years laterNot sure on the 2023s, but 2022s are reporting the issues still.
Can’t say I have seen a report of this on a 2022. Can you post a link to that?Not sure on the 2023s, but 2022s are reporting the issues still.
I have a 21 with only 16,500 miles, no water leaks yet that I know of just electrical issues! I have seen several water leaks with the 21’s though!Can’t say I have seen a report of this on a 2022. Can you post a link to that?
I have a 22, and thought I was in the clear, so now I’m getting all worried and stuff
There's been guys on the facebook pages say they have had the issue in their 2022s.Can’t say I have seen a report of this on a 2022. Can you post a link to that?

My 2021 only has 6k miles on it and has the rear corner leak. I think I've opened the slider window MAYBE twice the whole time I've had the truck.I have a 21 with only 16,500 miles, no water leaks yet that I know of just electrical issues! I have seen several water leaks with the 21’s though!
