1st timer here! Have read other threads with water intrusion in 1500 cabs..me to. Year ago had staining on headliner, removed garbage 3rd brake light oem gasket with homemade rubber plus silicone, 100% sealed. Antenna sealed with RTV silicone also. Removed roof joint rubber strips, installed sealing adhesive strips and reinstalled the rubber strips..no holes noticed. Seemed to cure problem, this month we’ve had a heavy downpour over couple days and truck outside, temps around 5deg C. Staining occurred in headliner plus soaked carpeting, drips through overhead speakers !! Removed rear seats, replaced rear wall exhaust vents with new style plus silicone. Inspected sunroof nothing obvious but using compressed air blew out all four corner drains. Inspected rear window slider and blew out track and drain slots. Soaked truck with spray hose, no leaking detected, but!! Eased down headliner to view roof, and heavy condensation visible on cab roof underside, photo. I cannot understand why Dodge wouldn’t think of this and have an insulated liner installed!! We’re not all on the equator with constant temps, only in Canada you say!!!! PNW climate.Vancouver island..sorry had to vent, still getting things dried out and will see how things progress, before I buy a Tundra I guess😤🤯

I popped the end of those roof strips and put as much sealant in there, did the whole back glass, the shark fin, and the third brake light. All permatexed now.

I’ve not had any water intrusion and my truck is also on Vancouver island. Do you have the glass roof?
 
I'm just starting to read through the water intrusion posts. I also have heavy condensation and water appearing under the passenger-side back seat. So much so that the carpet under there is molding and I had to remove my axe because it was rusting. Very annoying.
