Angry Leaking from Headliner

I have a 2012 SXT Plus - Last rain I noticed water dripping from the headliner rear passenger side near the light and shirt hanger. I took it to my local auto body shop and they said the drain looks clear. Has anyone had this happen? Thanks!

Hi pro v one,

Sorry to hear about this! If you end up deciding to visit a certified dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed, just send us a PM with your VIN and let me know.

I have the same problem with my '15 Ram 2500. The drains are in the front corners of the sunroof frame and if I park with the front of the truck uphill, rain water will spill out of the back of the frame and into the head liner and eventually onto me. I've tried to get my dealer to look at it only to get the run around and pushed off to another dealer which is closer to my home. It appears to be a design flaw and now I must back into my driveway and be mindful of where I park when it rains. If I park downhill I don't have any issues. Between this and three recalls this truck may be going away once the warranty runs out. Not happy with FCA!

The drains are plugged, you can clear them with a thin wire.

The drains are not plugged, ran water through them. It only does it when parked uphill and has done it since new.

Default Compressed Air

I would trying blowing out the water channels with some compressed air. That's what I did on my 2006 300c when it had that issue. That's another reason why I chose to go with a hardtop for my 2016 Challenger.
