Angry Power sliding rear window leaking

I have an 07 laramie and the rear sliding window now leaks water in the bottom seal. Is this a Recall or TSB I see allot of people with this problem. Is there a new gasket set for this since the factory one apparently blows.
UPDATE: well I brought it to the MORONS at the dealer and gave the service mgr a detailed explanation of where it is leaking, he never looked up at me while i was talking and i just had that feeling of him being a real D##k head and he gave me the "we'll fix it attitude" So I stayed a little while to be picked up and I figuered I would walk in after seeing the truck was not in the lot and see how they are doing(good thing) because there were TWO techs looking at the SUNROOF!!!!! believe this **** the moron put on the report "Customer states that the rear power sliding SUNROOF is leaking water" I had to tap on the window to get there attention and then physically show them and tell them where. Well after that i told them they are not to proceed with any repair on the truck if they determine where it is until they call me first. I dropped it at 9am there around 3pm I call after hearing nothing and the brain tells me we sealed it up and are waiting for the sealant to dry we will call you in a little while (no call later) i call 4:45pm "come and pick it up" he says! I go there only to be told it needs more sealant applied because it still has a leak (DUH) and they need it another day--NO WAY!!!! get me out of here, I go and look at the truck and they globbed RTV on the lower outside corners of the seal (which I had already applied nice and neat to no avail) This is why I do not purchase X-tnd warrt's because I don't want to be at there mercy only to have them cause damage and not fix squat!. WOW WOW WOW if my head don't stop shaking in dis-belief after this one I think it's going to fall off soon.

well I brought the truck to the dealer where I purchased it Weds. I told them i dont want it back until the leak is fixed. I actually brought the service mgr. outside to the truck and showed him the actual location of the leak and that they only had to use a spray bottle to make it happen. Well today They called at five EST. and they said the "leak specialist" was outside using a "POWER WASHER" checking the sunroof (which was not leaking) Now keep in mind it's 28 degrees Fahrenheit outside I would think the leak specialist knows that's below freezing ?, well apparently not and he freezes the sunroof drains and soaks the ENTIRE interior of my truck. Now they had to remove the headliner which requires the removal of numerous interior panels to make that happen . Mean while this was all because I have a "WARRANTY" on the truck and I figured i would make them fix it. Next time I will do it myself. Moral of the story. "I can't wait until March when my warranty is OVER. My big question is "Why would you use water outside in below freezing temps"?

UPDATE!!!! OK They are going to remove the entire back window of the truck and replace it because they say that Dodge does not make replacement weather stripping for the back glass. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard and what a waste of material, plus i never really want a factory windoe replaced but as long as it is in the same condition when I pick it up. I will make them fix and/or replace ANY interior parts thats are dirty/damaged or any thing else. What a nightmare!!!!
