Default water in ram

I just filled with premium gas, and decided I'd try out the premium setting on my flashpaq. Much to my surprise, underneath the rear seat on the drivers side I found a 2 inch puddle of water. No water anywhere else, just in the one spot. It had been raining all day. Anyone know what this might be? My best guess is an unsealed rear window, but i'm not sure. It's going in to the dealer tomorrow asap though to get fixed.

My guess is the back window.

So... how'd the flashpaq do with the premo?

You don't have an antenna or aerial lead poking through your third light cluster above your rear window do you.......?
Chances are..............if your do...............that's where the leak is from.
A lot of guys on here have had this problem with the third light/high level cluster not sealing, after these antenna's are poked through.
I did.

Like Abarmby mentioned, it is usually the 3rd brake light. Check the seal there.

localized the leak to the top corner of the sliding window or possibly the bottom of the third brake light. The dealership is sending an auto glass company to my house to fix it on site since they don't have an in-house guy to do it.

Never got a chance to try it. It was soaked with water when I found the leak, and then I let a friend borrow it for a week. Not expecting a lot though...I have heard the difference from 87 to 91 is hardly noticeable.
