keep us updated. I still haven't made an appointment yet with the dealer. I'm lazy, I should take the time to get it over there.Well, add mine to the list. Noticed a small trickle of water inside the passenger side rear window this morning in about the same location as cevans6318's. Dealer service appointment scheduled for Monday. 13,700 miles.

Just got back and they said they found a crack in the third brake light near the screw hole. Said they should have one delivered by tomorrow. Here's hoping it's just that...
I know mine is not the third brake light because I had the water only flowing over the passenger corner of the back glass and it leaks in. Sounds like they didn't even leak check it. Find it hard to believe a small crack in the third brake light will cause the leak to travel to the back corner of the glass. But who knows. This is exactly why I don't want to go to the dealer. I already know where the leak is, don't need the dealer to start guessing at ****.
I can't actually verify if they leak checked it or not. They said they did and it's on the work order, but the truck was out of sight back in their service area. Guess I'll find out soon enough.
You could actually see the two cracks on mine. The common area for this is on either side of the sliding window. Mine was cracked on both.
I think the dealership lied to you. It's covered under the 3 year 36 month factory b to b warranty. My daughter had hers replaced under warranty less than a month before it expired.
If only... I don't know what's all included in Big Stella's definition of "rear window".
And that's the problem...interpretation of the language in the warranty. That's a poorly written statement. Lots of people in this forum and other forums claim to have gotten their rear windows replaced under warranty because of this issue with leaking. And most of their trucks were more than 1 year old or had more than 12k miles.
Got the truck back yesterday after having to wait 3 days for the window to come in and 3rd party glass company to have availability. So new assembly is in, very clean install, no issues with headliner or scratches. Rear window operating as expected. Will check defrost in the morning.
Yup. I'd assume it meant the glass for both the windshield and the rear window and not leaks if the glass is intact... but you know what they say about assuming.
can we take this to the dealership and this might help get it replaced for free?
I'm in FL as well, 2019 1500 and rear window frame cracked in both spots above the sliding window portion, **** design if you ask me. I have no leaks yet but what alerted me to an issue is that my rear cabin started rattling with music and that's when I saw the 2 cracks. Taking to dealer Friday.
Well there goes that theory, I hope your still under warranty!
sounds like your dealer is retarded. if you have water entering the vehicle from either the 3rd brake light, top roof antenna or the back window, should be easy as pie to diagnosis it. With the back wall panel off and headliner off, water entering the vehicle from one of those 3 should be pretty cut and dry.Well... had the third brake light replaced yesterday, still leaked. Just got back from the dealer and they tried to reseal it and checked the antenna. Still leaked. No cracks and they can't figure out where it's coming from, so they've ordered a new rear window and said it should be here within two or three days.
