I have a 2022 2500 6.4, and when it rains my grab handles on the passenger and driver side water comes pouring out. Does anyone else have this. I do not have a sunroof, it is a Tradesman. This is the first time this has happened.

Do you have clearance lights? Odds are one or more have bad seals. Replace them all. I had a couple bad ones, new seals solved it. There is a possibility of a bad windshield seal, but think leaks from windshield seal to pillars would be near impossible.

I too would say Clearance Lights, unless you or someone else had the windshield replaced.

I have read that Ram owners get wet, just by popping off that plastic tab, that cover the screw

Ditto on the clearance lights, but if you have the sharkfin antenna, that is a possibility, too.

The seals on my roof clearance lights were fine, but the plastic lenses were cracked. The were almost all cracked basically due to age (5yrs).

would not a roof leak of any kind show up on the headliner?

i'd be looking elsewhere

there's a youtube video on this and be sure to read the replies...


this was the update he posted:

UPDATE 8/29/18:After some extensive leak testing, my dealership determined that the seam between the roof and side panels had bad welds. It was so bad they asked if my truck was in a roll-over accident (it wasn't). These welds are underneath the two weatherstrip channels on top of the roof. Their bodyshop re-welded the seams and my truck hasn't leaked since - fortunately it was covered by warranty.

I was going to mention the same thing. Haven't had any troubles out of either of my 2500s...but my co-worker had the same issue on his wife's minivan. Turned out to be bad welds.
