Did you check out the "rear window surround cracked" thread?

No I honestly wasn’t even aware because of the crazy year that 2020 was. Just glad it’s being covered under warranty.

Planning on buying a TRX in the future hopefully the newer 5th Gens don’t have these issues! I got a late 2019 model year and it still had it.

I read this whole Thread Sunday night during the super bowl. A week or if not two weeks ago the central coast in CALI got a lot of rain I left the truck parked for the week, one day I got in and the window was wet on the inside wiped it off then continued about my day. Today I remembered about the thread so I check my rear carpet and it’s soaked still. Rain stopped about a week ago. Taking the truck in next Wednesday hopefully I get lucky and get a new carpet. I’m going to have them check the roof antenna while they’re at it.

Get them to check everything! I did and I should be getting my truck back today or tomorrow. Apparently my carpet was “salvageable” according to the technicians.
Yes, have them check the window (notorious for cracks in the frame), the antenna, and third brake light. My dealer replaced the headliner, back wall treatment and carpet as well as the window, antenna (with new fasteners and gasket), and the rear brake light with new gaskets. Hopefully you get that addressed well.

I had such a horrible experience with the dealership I went too. Does it make a difference if it’s the dealership you bought your truck from?
I think that may have had an issue as I did go to the dealer I purchased it from. If they wanted my return business they would get it done right and they did. Hard to say though as I see so many stories of dealerships that just don't give a darn after the sale. But then, if you're buying from a dealership that has a two star dealer or yelp review, what do you expect?!
Mine was 4 .5 stars and that's pretty good for a dealership. I can see why they're rated that with the service I got. It took a while because the carrier they used to deliver the replacement windows (yes windowS) kept breaking them in transit. It's hard enough to get replacement parts for our trucks as they're being used to build new ones. When they break the replacements, it takes even that much longer. I did get a case manager at FCA (Brianna) and she was calling me and dealer every day to ensure it stayed on track.I just bought a 2021 ram long horn Friday and the first time it snowed I'm driving to Minneapolis and the entire truck fogs up on the inside like I couldn't see it was so bad. I turned the recirculation button off and it resolved but is this going to happen in the summer with the ac on now? And I have a whistling noise from my passenger side when I'm going over 60. I thought I was doing the right thing trading my 2019 chevy silverado because it to was pile of crap loud wind noise from the windshield loud going over bumps the truck would almost leave the road if it was a bigger bump the tyranny was clunky 45k miles same as the ram. Shoukd I also be prepared to wear a raincoat when it rains inside the truck? Why are all these vehicles such piles of garbage it's 2020s not 1920s
Check to see if your windshield has been replaced. Many whistle noises are the result of a bad install. Many times there is not enough uerathane in the channel. You can test this by covering the perimeter edges of the shield with painters tape test drive and see if whistle still exists.
Sounds original then. Sorry for your grief, good luck!

Trade it if you're so unhappy. All you've talked about in your posts are how ram's are garbage, and Ford's are better. why are you still here? LOL
