Absolutely not having this problem. Looks like you have a leak somewhere.

I would take out your 3rd brake light, and see if it's sealing right.
It was a REAL common issue in Gen II Rams, but a lot of rear window leaks come from that needless 3rd light.

im a little irritated by this especially considering its like the raining season in Florida. i have to make time to get to the dealer soon. whats to this 3rd brake light issue. does it have anything to do with this back up sensor sitting there or is this sensor going to be affected by the water or anything?

they are going to seal up your 3rd with silicone. Nice mess.........I'd take it off, put some foam tape around the original crap and call it a day.

that silicone "fix" they do........good luck getting the damn thing out later when you want ...... errrr NEED to change a bulb.

My reg. cab did it too once in a while with heavy rain so I added 1/4" thick foam tape on top of the original foam and it's been bone dry ever since.

3rd brake light leaks usually run down to the sides of the window and fall to the carpet behind the seats. Or so the dealer told me.That looks like the rear slider seal leak I had, twice, on mine. There was a gap in the window / seal from the factory. I could push it and make it close up. The water shouldn't get on the seat if it's a 3rd brake light leak. Is the headliner wet? if not then its ur seal on the slider. I haven't had my 3rd brake light leak on either ram that i have owned, just the rear slider. They are real common to leak there too though. Spray the window / top of truck with a hose while someone watches from inside and see where it comes from. That's how I found my leak each time.

I got my Ram used. Carfax stated mine was bought in to the dealer for the issue and fixed. Seems to have leaked at the seam on the roof. No problems now though

I had the same problem with my 12. I took it to the dealership and not only did they replace the entire third brake light assembly, they also put in a "thicker" gasket. No problems since.

My 12 did it about 2 weeks in, they replaced the light and it still did it, ended up putting some rope butyl, little messy but works great

Mine doesn't leak, but I have to remember to close the d@mn thing when I get home so the rain doesn't get in overnight.
