2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Cab Water Leak

[Fatboy]

Trying figure out my cab water leak that soaks the drivers side floor. Does anyone know if the roof clearence lights are gasketed? I plan on resealing all roof penetrations including the 3rd brake light.



I just want a dry cab.

Mine was a roof magnet antenna that I routed the cable through the rear window, I sealed the area around the cable with clear silicone and no more water

I can feel your pain with the factory water leak option... I once owned an '01 QC 4x4 (stolen by my EX wife and sold to her uncle for 1/2 what I paid#@$%!) that leaked from the door trim. I replaced the trim and solved the leak and also the wind noise.

The cab light do have thin neoprene gaskets which shrink over time and are a common source for cab water leaks. The last time I checked, replacement gaskets weren't available from Dodge, so you'd have to make your own.

I just discovered mine came with the factory water leak option as well (in my case - 3rd brake light). Dodge does not sell a replacement gasket for the 3rd brake light either, so I'm currently looking for material to make my own. I've searched a little for aftermarket gasket makers, but no luck so far. I hope you find your leak soon.

I have a new NOS 3rd light gasket i bought years ago, it is a hokey piece of foam... ..... the best fix guys is pull the light clean the area well to nice clean paint and the light as well and use "3m buytel"... . you have to get it from a autobody supply shop usually... . its that blackish gray stuff that at one time went around talights and such on cars to seal out water... . I happened to have a old box of it, resealed my light works like a charm and I can still pry it open and change the bulb if i need to.

peace, B.

My truck has started leaking at the top right corner of the windshield. Could not find leak, but after opening the glove box one day paperwork soaking wet I started pouring water from the bottom of the windshield and when I was about 2 inches from the top presto there's the leak. Good luck.

Just use a tube of clear silicon sealant - - - I like Permatex buy at any auto parts store and put a gob completely around
the third brake light, especially the top - - - won't show unless you get up there and look real close- - - it will end the problem - - - I put new bulbs in before I did it to give me more time w/o having to change bulbs
