Default Dropped my truck off at the dealer

I just dropped my truck off this morning at the dealer and got a Dodge Avenger as a 1 day rental. Neat car! Anywho, I dropped it off for, as my buddy Scott calls it, "the infamous cab leak," driver's seat squeak, and a free car wash. From my last thread on this, I'll make sure to let you guys know abut the leak and what the dealer did to fix it.

Cab leak behind and under the rear seat? It's the bab vent that is between the cab and the box underneath the rear window.

The leak is only coming from where the 3rd brake light is at the top.

I meant the cab vent, but just sounds like they will remove the light and goop it with rtv sealant. I would check for that when you pick it up. There is suppose to be a seal for that light. RTV sealant is a cheap cobjob fix and if they did that, i would be pissed off if it was me. I wouldn't accept it. Just some food for thought.

I wish I read this thread earlier today before picking it up. I didn't have a chance. Thanks for the insight, though.

I picked it up today and got the thing sealed with something. Could be the RTV... Damn. They also checked my driver's seat for the squeaking. I was surprised when I heard this: I'm getting a new seat bracket put in instead of them WD40-ing it. Lol. They ordered the bracket from Louisiana and should be here in San Diego in 5-7 days.
