Default Need help stopping a water leak

My ram has developed a water leak. From what I can tell it seems to be leaking in from the top of the door. Has anyone run into this before with their trucks? I checked and all the weatherstripping is in tact and not torn.

It seems to be dripping straight down getting the drivers seat a little bit and the floor a little bit also. Any suggestions?

One place to check is the 3rd brake light housing on the rear of the cab. The gasket can go bad, causing the water to leak inside the cab. Usually, the water only appears on the floor, I haven't heard about it leaking onto the drivers seat, so maybe I'm wrong here. But the water will run down the inside and I think follow the top of the rear window and eventually end up along the bottom of the door. It's a place to look if you've exhausted all other ideas.

I had a similar issue, and I think it is probably that brake lamp gasket for me too...My leak came in from on top of the back window, getting the back seat all wet. It only happened once , and this was after a good solid week of heavy rain...I will be changing that gasket , and see from there if it helps. Not to mention , my cargo lights do not work, but the fuse, and bulbs are good. My dome light is the same thing. I am sure some water did a number in there. Get that gasket changed to start.
