Rear window leak

[bpa88]

Well got another problem with my ram..it goes to the dealer Saturday for a shaking issue on the highway..Unrelated to the shaking we have been having really heavy rain lately and the other day I noticed water on the back window..I immediately thought third break light but that is sealed with rtv. So tonight I went out with a spray bottle filled with soap and water, turned the air on full blast and sprayed around the break light and waited about 5 minutes..no bubbles at all. I then began spraying around the top of the rear window and the rubber gasket on that is along the window itself..I didn’t notice any bubbles but when I inspected inside the truck I had water dripping from the top of the window channel and headliner. I continued to spray and the more I sprayed the more it dripped, so now it looking like the rear window has a leak in the seal around the top edge somewhere..I took a video to show the dealer of the leak when I drop my truck off tomorrow.. so fingers crossed they can get it fixed!

They will probably remove and install a whole new rear window. Happened to mine when my rear window defroster had a few strips that didn't work. It's a whole unit they just stick in. If they do that, they sub out the glass work. Make sure your headliner doesn't get damaged at all in the pricess. They damaged mine replacing the whole rear window, and then had to replace the headliner and remove the windsheild to do that. My truck was so hacked apart at that point, I got a whole brand new truck when they were done. My original 17' only had 3300 miles on it when this went down. Then they found me another exactly like mine and i got it. It was a pain in the ass. Hope it works out for you

Wow I hope it goes smooth. My truck has 30,000 miles. Have had it for about a year 1/2. For the most part it was parked under the car port so I never really payed attention till my wife decided she wanted to park her car under this winter and my trucks been sitting outside. I noticed the windows were fogged up often which I knew something wasn’t right and that’s when I started investigating.
