Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

[Jwithing]

I finally pulled out my rear seat to find my leak and it's not surprising that it's been leaking so badly. Most of the flaps on the vents are missing.

Those look similar to mine. My subs were going out, and I checked my fuse at the battery, which was melted. Water was coming in directly into my amp. I'll be ordering replacements now. Doesn't seem like I'm able to pull the old ones out between the cab and bed, so hopefully I can cut them out and the new ones go in easier.

You can pop them out and they WILL fall maybe a little push to the left or right bit they will slide down between the cab and bed. Bring the new ones up the same way and pull back in. Take your time, dont force,flex, twist. And you'll get them in. I could not do it from the inside without starting to chew up the new edge on the metal and I was NOT going to be reinstalling my interior with a questionable seal again.

I had tried that and couldn't get them out before. Just got my new ones and decided to manhandle things a bit. Ended up twisting the old ones and pulling them into the cab. Luckily was able to do the reverse to put the new ones in. Total time was 5 minutes. Will check for leaks to make sure I didn't damage a seal, but I think I'm good. Here's a pic of the old ones. The one will all the flaps gone was right above my amp.

Incredible they fall apart like that.

I just had to replace mine as well. I went digging around in my under seat storage and all of my work gloves were wet after we had a good rain. I turned on the hose and ran some water on them to confirm, and within about 3 seconds, the top of the passenger vent was completely full of water. I knocked them out and just let them fall, then dropped a piece of paracord I had laying around through the opening and tied it to the new vent and pulled it up into place. I put a bead of 3m 5200 fast cure marine sealant on the new vent at the seal, then once it was installed, I ran a bead of the same around the inside. Did this for both sides. Took longer to get the seats out/in than anything else. The vents themselves took just a few minutes. Hopefully the new ones dont decide to degrade and leak at some point, I'm not sure I can get them out with all of the sealant I put on them.

Those vents r very cheap to replace. They have a new version of them now. Also I found the roof seam on the passenger side had small cracking in the paint and was allowing water in.

Would you happen to have the part number for the new style? And, does it fit the 1500?

When I bought last 6-2019 it was:
Manufacturer: Mopar Part Number: 68323649AB Part: Pressure Vent Replaces: 68157351AC, 68157351AD, 68323649AA

Will it fit the 2014 1500?

You can easily look up the part numbers on a mopar site or just call the dealer with your vin. They are cheap as hell.

They are the same for all the trucks.

I just pulled out my seats and carpet as I had a ton of water in the well after heavy rain. I found the covers on both vents were completely gone letting water just rush in. I also found my sliding window seal to have a small leak as well.
