Frost inside Windshield

tones2SS · Dec 30, 2014

Anyone ever have frost on the inside of their windshield? This is the second year that this has happened. I haven't driven the truck in like 4 days and it's been really cold out, especially at night, not sure that should make a difference at all. Anyone else run into anything similar?
The truck is a 2005 Ram 1500. Thanks!

I had it happen with my last ram (05) and was was able to fix it by resealing the 3rd brake light. I have been noticing it lately on my current truck, but I haven't had a chance to look into it.

That sneaky brake light...

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

How do you seal that third brake light, if I may ask? I assume, just take off the light and reseal around the edges? And that should take care of the frost on the windshield, hopefully? lol

Some people use silicone calk, but I would use butyl tape. Works like a champ on everything marine, doesn't make a mess, and easy to take apart if you ever need to.

Thank you sir!

I used a bead of RTV silicone around the existing gasket, cheap effective and easy fix. You could also pick up a new gasket from Dodge as well if you choose.

Thanks for all the replies/answers everyone.
If I keep the truck, I'll probably just replace the gasket. I really want a new daily driver and this is making that decision that much easier. We shall see what the future holds though.

I think it's coming from the left side somewhere. The carpet under the passenger seat gets a little wet. It could be coming from the A pillar, not sure. Also, the truck is 10 years old, so maybe the gaskets have seen better days.
In all honesty, I think I am going to trade the truck in for either a 2015 Jeep SRT 8, (if I can afford it), or a 2015 Ram 1500 Sport 4X4 regcab/short bed. I'll wait till the end of February for my birthday and place my order.
