Found my 2020 with leaking water into cab. I can only assume its coming from the 3 points of interest that Ram is aware of.
Antenna, 3rd light and seem on roof. It can also be the window itself which i doubt and i read someone saying the door weather stripping. This should be a recall since this is a hazard to air bags, seat belt tensioners, electric short or shock plus the mold and mildew. Im under warranty still, but they want me to pay for rental and keep vehicle for over a month. Ram knows this issue is in all models and years but they quietly fix them. instead of sending a recall to fix issue before the mess and customer complaints. So now they should replace all areas of wetness such as headliner, speakers, air bag sensors, seat belt tensioners, carpet and any insulation in vehicle as to not breed mold and mildew. Don't understand why Ram lets it get to this point. 50 to 60k vehicle shouldn't have these issues especially since they date back a long long time.

I answered you in another thread, that looks like water intrusion from the 3rd brake light (CHMBL), or satellite antenna or roof seam get it looked at asap and they have to pay to clean the headliner there is some good cleaners to get that stain out.

Sorry getting old...if i did reply sorry again. I took it to dealer who said they looked at it..basically they said its leaking from window and 3rd light without pulling the headliner down. I took my car back while waiting for all parts to come in. They are replacing all speakers, mics, window, 3rd light, roof liner and carpet. I noticed today rust on hinges for seat on both ends so i don't know what they will do when i show them that. Anyway we'll see.
It looks like it was coming from window since it was an active leak when i brought to them. I will ask that they check the antenna when they pull the roof liner down.

Rear window leaks is definitely a common problem. Usually the window frame cracks at the top, near the edges of the opening for the sliding center section. Many people have had their rear windows replaced. I'm glad to hear they are replacing everything affected by this. Although I don't agree that you should have to pay for the rental out of your own pocket. Check your warranty paperwork. I believe there is an allowance from FCA (Stellantis) to at least help cover the costs of a rental car.

I have just found out that my 2020 RAM has had a leak at both the back and front glass seal. I am also fighting with RAM to replace it under warranty. They say they only warranty glass for 12 months. The Glass is fine it's the seals that need to be replaced but they don't have just the seals.
