Way to ruin Ram Limited Experience with bubbling dashboard!

[Ellisstrong]

I am having the same problem with my 2020 Limited. I only have 29K miles on it, and the back window is leaking and the dash is bubbling. I have already had to have the Etorque battery replaced. It feels like I have a lemon on my hands. I'd love recommendations on a dealership in the Atlanta area that can help me. Running into a road block at my current dealership.

I had my dash replaced at Palmer in Roswell. Gwinnett service department is supposed to be good. That’s where I just got my truck back from recently for my etorque replacement

This isnt due to cleaning agents, exposure to sun, lack of a dashmat or any of that... its due to moisture or rather humidity inside your cab. Probably the leaky back window or brakelight. This is a common problem with the DT's.
My dash was replaced back in 21. My back window had the typical crack in the plastic frame and was on a waiting list to have it repaired but due to Covid the windows were on back order but the dash wasnt. So the dealer replaced the dash. Of course it took way more than a year to get the window replaced under warranty and in that time the humidity was slowly ruining the new dash. Plus the dealer never bothered to leak test anything, just going off the "crack" so they never bothered checking the brakelight, antenna or even the sunroof for possible leaks. Mopar did extend my warranty on both the back window and the brakelight like they did many, if not all DT owners. That means they know this is almost a recall issue or should be.
So fast forward to now. My truck is back in service because its still leaking. The RF module has moisture in it according to the tech which is causing(and has since new) the tire pressure sensor readings to not work randomly and occasional remote issues. This can only happen from a leak in the upper roof area. So back to the circle of trying to get the dash replaced again along with warranty regarding back window and brakelight again. The dealer throws out that goodwill option pretty effortlessly which we know its because there is a cost to the customer involved. But really it should still be covered under warranty since they were unable to provide the neccessary services when it was under warranty.
This is pathetic for us that pay 70k plus for a nice truck and the dashes get ruined by a design flaw over and over again.
I have determined that the real problem is cab flex. I have noticed since it was new that when I pull out of my very angled and somewhat steep driveway that I hear cab pops coming from behind me somewhere in the rear seat area. With the larger doors, sunroof and increased length of the DT cab vs the classic body, it makes sense that its easier to twist. This of course will affect the cheap plastic frame used to hold the rear glass/slider in. The mega-cabs didnt have this problem because it had a much more robust c pillar since it had regular sized rear doors and no giant sunroof which help with rigidity.
So I wait to see where this goes this time.

This isn't a moisture or humidity issue, it's an issue with the adhesive, the amount used and leather protectants used on the dash. I've never had the back window leak issue and sealed up the CHMSL the 1st week I had the truck. If it were a moisture/humidity issue, wiping the dah down with a damp cloth would apply more and humidity to the dash than a leaky window or stop light. Read some of the above comments, many didn't have an issue until they applied a protectant

I have never applied anything my dash, wet or otherwise. So how do you explain that huh? Yeh you cant. Its humidity. And it doesnt neccessarily have to leak. Many live in high humidity areas. This has happened to other vehicles I have owned over the last 40 years. And yes the adhesive failure is compounded by high humidity.

Read again, the adhesive. My first dash didn't have a of adhesive applied and I could see the adhesive lines. The replacement dash didn't have the adhesive lines which suggest to me that the adhesive was more evenly applied across the entire surface. Many people all over have had this issue and most adhesives don't have an issue with water. Heat and less than optimal amounts of adhesive and here you are.
