5th Gen Wet Carpet - No Drain tubes? [Pic]

[Theo2019]

So after a heavy rain, I noticed that my carpet under the rubber mats is wet. I don't have the sunroof and everywhere else in the floor is dry. I was hoping it was just from me getting in and out of the truck during rain weather because the wetness is isolated around the little clip for the rubber floor mat to lock in.

Was looking on here and guys have pictures of their drain tubes in their door jams. Went to look at mine to see if they are properly sealed and realized I just have circular rubber seals without a plug. Does anyone have this setup?

Theo2019 I have my truck at the Dealer As i am writing you this.Dodge seems to have a apparent Defect possibly with a weld in the firewall and also along where the door Jam meets the Rocker Panel on the Drivers side.Dodge has been working on my truck since January 2nd trying to first find the apparent leak and then trying to remedy it..As of Thursday I was informed that they first located the firewall leak and have since found the Rocker Panel leak and Dodge according to the Dealership has begun a case number. I'm hopeful they will fix the issue because I Love my New Ram but because this was a purchase and not a lease I feel a little uneasy because if they missed one weld or have a bad seam what is gonna happen in the future? Take your truck to the dealer and make sure they fix it!!

SOB that’s probably what’s going on with me. If they can’t fix it or offer a replacement then I’ll have use lemon law I guess.

That rubber plug is where the sunroof drain tube would be IF you had a sunroof.

No sunroof in mine learned my lesson its 2019 and these car companies still cannot build a vehicle without a leaky sunroof or Drain tubes. I will never again purchase a vehicle with a sunroof

To some extent I think that's just the nature of the beast. Some are better than others, and I would say most sunroofs from most car companies don't leak from the factory or for awhile - but, eventually, all sunroofs are going to leak unless the seals are replaced. No different than skylights in houses - in fact, in some ways worse than skylights, because vehicles are constantly moving and flexing from speed, climate and road conditions while houses don't move (unless you have a tiny house or an RV ). I have a small convertible, and I think a completely removable top is a better option than a hole in one that's also supposed to seal closed when you don't want it.
