I have a '14 Ram 1500 4 door. During the summer months it isn't used often as my Miata becomes the vehicle of choice except for when it rains. I recently used the truck and noticed some moisture build up on the inside of the windshield. Running the defogger removed it after a while (it was pretty heavy) but it also caused me to look for possible sources of intrusion. I failed to check mats for dampness underneath but I did notice the rear door moldings at the top of the openings are sagging a bit, the drivers side more than the passenger side. I can push them back into position but opening the door again either pulls them down or allows them to sag again. Not a huge amount but enough that it "may" be causing a problem. I supposed a garden hose with me inside while my wife sprays would offer an insight, but if the intrusion is slower and more like a seep I may not find it anyway. The amount of water could have happened over a period of time since we haven't had much rain around here until recent weeks, and when I did use the truck the A/C was probably running anyway.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? The molding appears to be a continuous strip running around the entire door frame and is in otherwise excellent condition. My initial thought was to try and adhere the strip to the top with an adhesive of some sort as the original attachment seems to be simply a tight fit that has decided to not be tight any more.
