Can someone throw up a link for the gasket material? Would like to have it on hand before pulling it off and measuring. Thanks

Very Interesting. Is there any type of 'reference' number or code on the letter regarding the 3rd brake light warranty extension? I wonder if it is for Canada only...or also the USA?? Also wonder if it includes any water 'damage' to the head liner or other possible affected components?RAM knows about the leak problems as I just received a Warranty Extension letter from them last week indicating they are extending the warranty of the third brake light to ten years for the 2019-2021 model years ... My truck is a 2020 ... I guess with all the issues with previous model years they decided to do something ... My 2013 third brake light leaked and I caught it early as the bulbs blew which is when I noticed the moisture inside ... Dried it all up and put some window stripping around it as a seal and it never leaked after that ...
All 5th gen 1500s received a four screw assembly. The early 4th gen version only had two attaching screws, but testing found that any overtightening produced an uneven pressure against the gasket in the middle section.I had the leak on a 2016. I read the forums that this Detroit Muscle had a real nice gasket so I bought one. It is really nice. I scraped the old gasket off and put the new one on only to discover that when I bolted it up, the housing was warped so bad that it could never be tightened enough to seal. I didn't want to do a hack job with silicone, so I ordered a new Mopar housing. While I was explaining my dilemma on this forum, someone told me that the OEM bulbs needed to be changed over to LED to prevent the overheating of the housing. Put the new lens with gasket and LED bulbs, I have solved my problem since 2019ish. Some other makes/models have four screws to hold the housing to the vehicle. Those engineers may have added the two extra screws to eliminate the warping of the housing.
The only thing at the top of the letter is the model of my truck along with the VIN # ... But I did find this that would pertain to the U.S. on 2019-2021 DT models ...Very Interesting.
