Water leaking in cab

Is your window frame cracked like many other 2019’s?

Nope. I saw that in other posts and that was one of the first things checked. There's definitely water intrusion when you pour water on the roof of the car above the right passenger seat.

Good luck!

Yes...make an appointment with your dealer.

Yep, same issue. No crack with a leak on a 2019 Laramie. It's under warranty but it's at a pretty inopportune time, so they said they won't fix it for 2 weeks because of a parts backup (it's the rear glass which I figured wouldn't be hard to get a hold of). In the meanwhile they said to just deal with it, so there's diapers and towels being rotated in to soak it up in the meanwhile.

Thanks for posting the pic, exact same thing happened. Rear window seal fail without cracks. It was driving me crazy for a long time, the truck kept smelling (my wife was the one who realized it smelled worse after the rain) and I wasted a good minute pulling the seats out to check the rear vent / sharkfin gasket / 3rd brake light gasket/ repeatedly cleaning the carpet.

People can still post to document this so people can troubleshoot quicker / Ram can either decide to do something about this or at least people can see to avoid these trucks. This is clearly a a common issue.

Well, I am about to take my 2019 Ram in for the Second back window replacement. Is it maybe the defrost system turning on during remote start ? Ram is giving me a hard time about standing behind the defective plastic window frame.

That water damage does not look like a window issue, but more of a third-brake light issue based on the staining of the headliner.

they replaced the third brake light back when they did the back window. The window frame is wet. Maybe the water is just running that way. I also just had to replace my battery day after Christmas.

Oh I have had the side mirrors replaced also because they were just folding in while I was driving.

Trade it in for a 2022......

Just to throw in my 2 cents. I noticed some leaking on mine and it appeared to the be the brake light. The gasket is good, but I had removed the light to install LED's when I first got the truck. Before I took it to the dealer, I did what they were going to do anyway and put some weatherproof caulk along the top and sides of the truck body. I let that dry (unlike what the dealer would do), and I put a small foam strip along the bottom to force the light against the caulk. Put the light back on, and we proceeded to get pouring rain 3 days later. Don't have any more wet headliner.

Yep, 3rd brake light gasket already replaced. Shark fin gasket already replaced. Water intrusion tested by pouring and spraying water over the roof and the leak was found, leaking through the rear window seal above the right passenger seat.

Should have mentioned the troubleshooting steps taken earlier, mistakenly assumed it was obvious/implied.

Edit: no obvious cracks in the rear window frame either, which is why I assumed the leak wasn't coming from that area initially.

Quick question, do you present another issue after the water leaking? I have water leaking on the 3rd brake light and also leather delamination on the dash

She is cracked alright. Service writer should be able to look at that and say "replacement on order"

This is BS that this known problem from the early builds in 2018 still continues in the 21 and 22 rams, so sad!
