Hey guys, I am having a very hard time finding replacements for the two big cabin vents that are in the wall behind the foam and rear seat online. I have a very leaky one that I've tried sealing with almost everything under the sun and water still finds a way through little nooks and the other one has some minor leakage also. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for these online? I would just as much fab up a piece of metal and seal it on both but anything I have found online seems to say that it's a bad idea due to cabin pressure/ AC issues arising. I would go to a wrecking yard, but these trying to pluck some out of wrecked trucks are probably going to be a headache to say the least. I don't know if I'm just not finding the proper name for these things online or what, but I'm having to ride with my back seat area gutted out until I can fix this. I love tinkering here and there on my truck, but I'm tired of "field stripping" my truck after it rains and I find a standing puddle in one of the seat wells. Any help is appreciated.

 

Are you positive that's the leak? The reason I ask I had a 3rd brake light leaking, same thing, it would flood the backseat floor.

 

Yeah I'm sure. I did check for that when I changed that light. I did have a leak at the top left corner but I got that fixed. It's definitely the vent, well at least now it's the last issue. The perimeter was leaking and I fixed that with some silicone but the vent flaps crapped out too. I literally used silicone and then sprayed it several times with flex seal.

I'm dealing with the same thing in a used 2012 ram 1500. I'm wondering of it's from those rear cab vents.
