Default 2007 Ram leaking water

Has any one else had any issues with their ram's leaking water? I saw water drops at the top of the rear window, and along the plastic at the headliner......... All my paperwork got wet on the back seat too...

Do you have a sliding windor or a solid glass? Could it be moisture condonsation?

Same thing happened on my 2007 it is the cruddy foam seal that is on the 3rd brake light. I pulled the 3rd brake light and sealed the heck out of it with clear silicone sealer; I used the bathroom/kitchen type. What I did was look to see where the foam sat on the body and sealed it right below that point. I then allowed it to dry because you do not want the 3rd brake light to stick to the body or you will never be able to get it back off. I did this in June of 07 and have yet to haveany water come into the cab. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem, and it was the brake light assembly. I took it back to the dealer and they couldn't take my word for it, so after a day of runningwater over the thrid brake light. They were able to tell me that the brake light assembly was where the leak was.. So all said and done, they replaced the third brake light assembly, the seat, (because they couldn't get the water stain out) and a trip to the body shop cause they scratched the schitt out of it while it was shop. Long story short, no leaks since..

Good luck.

Well yes I do have a sliding rear window, but the water droplets that I saw were above it. I think it might be the brake light assembly also. I did notice soem moisture in the light. and of all things.. I noticed a bug in the light???? anyways, yea i think it might be from the brake light. They have a Leak specialist coming to look at it on tuesday. the seat isn;t thatbad, but I will ask them to replace any padding and the seats if i notice them to be damp. Tell ya what.. Dodge has went to Sh#t this year. I bouthg a 07 Nitro at the same time last year, and the Nitro had like 2 inches of water on the passenger floor mat.. It was the "COWL" that was leaking.....

I thought I saw some water droplets about a week or so after I got it brand new (2007 - purchased in August). But they seem gone now - and I check it every times it rains but don't see or feel anything...maybe just lucky

Mine had a leak when I first got it but, mine was dripping from the A-post. Took it into the dealer and they had some Company come in and reseal all the roof seams. Hasn't leaked since then.

I have seen when removing the rear window that the silicone that seal the window was missing in a few spots causing the leaks. just resealed the window leaks gone. But what do I know I'm just a dumb *** at the dealership.
