2016 sport sliding rear window leaks. Haven't found any water yet but I am thinking there has to be by the amount of dust getting in. Took it by dealership. They told me to drop it off Friday so they can test it. Other than that so far so good. This is my 4th Ram.

Likely the 3rd brake light seal. Search it. Many many threads on it

Had the same issue with mine, slammed the rear window shut and it stopped. Haven't opened it since, I do plan on taking it in though.

Mine leaked within a couple months of buying new. Actually, it probably leaked since the day I bought it but it took a couple months for the water to get in and short out the bulb which alerted me. When I called the dealer (back in 2014) Ram hadn't come with an "official" fix. So, I got a $5 roll of rubber weather stripping and fixed it myself in the Home Depot parking lot in less than 5 minutes. Hasn't been a problem since.

Mine was worse than some might be because I park outside on an upslope so all of the water that hits the roof runs back over the light.
