Water Leak

[Grim]

I think my rear window or sunroof is leaking (2014 crew cab outdoorsman). My son was playing with his seat belt and noticed the last two feet of the rear seat belt were wet. Any ideas? Thanks!

Check the 3rd brake light on the rear of the cab. People on the forum that have had similar problems have found the gasket around the housing was damaged.

buy some black silicone.. get a Phillips... remove the 2 screws... re seal.. and put back together... mine never leaked.. but I wasn't going to risk it..as stated above.. it's the third brake light.

This is so common, yet why why has Chrysler not addressed?

OP do what has been suggested by everyone here. Even if it is NOT yoru problem, it will prevent a KNOWN issue from occurring.

THough, my money is this is the fix you need.

It's definitely not just Chrysler. Last year I jumped over from F150s and they have the exact some problem with the leaking 3rd brake lights. I've been reading about it on the Ford forums for years and it's fixed the same way RAM "fixes" theirs....silicone sealant on the light housing.

It's the 3rd brake light. Dealers are known it's happening, they changed mine out free of charge

Not an uncommon problem. Them pesky 3rd brake light gasket. Seems like most don't hold up to the higher pressure water from car washes. Rams are not the only trucks that do this.

As others said, silicone that thing up.

One of the reasons I switched to a new Ram was that my F150 constantly leaked. I'm sorry I spent so much money to get the same problems.

Same Issue

I have a 2015 with 7k miles and just found 1.5" of water under the rear seat in the passenger side storage well. AWESOME!!!
