i have a 2018 ram 1500 tradesman
18K miles
No sunroof
no sliding rear glass
I've had it to the dealer several times for water leaks
Started out as leaking out of the grab handle front drinkers side.
dealer pulled the black strip off the roof and sealed some cracks near the factory spot welds.
leak moves to back seat driver side.
dealer replaces third break light twice
then the dealer took it to another shop and they removed the back glass and resealed it.
several months later the leak returned on the grab handle front drinkers side.
resealed the roof spot welds again.
a couple days later the carpet is wet in the back seat drivers side under the seat an on the drivers side seatbelt.
its at the dealer now.

How do i get these leaks fixed permanently?

o_O Drinkers side???...is that another name for the passenger side? And the driver side is the non-drinkers side?

Sounds like you've covered the most common leak points. I'm not sure anyone here has complained about the issue you're having. Also, 2018 is a 4th gen. This is the 5th gen forum. You might have better luck posting this question in a 4th gen forum.
