Cargo light 3rd brake light leak

[jpogue]

OK I recently bought a 2020 3500 HD. I took it through the carwash today and noticed water on the inside of the rear window. I'm assuming it's from the cargo/3rd brake light? Will Dodge cover this or should I just fix it myself?

RAM would cover it if you have any warranty on it. I'd get a new gasket and add some silicone sealer along with it.

they all do that.. for the amount of time and effort it takes to order the 9 dollar gasket off of Amazon and removing two screws compared
to going to the dealer and trying to get them to do it for free, and waiting, I'd just buy the gasket and do it myself..

It's the water damage on the headliner I want them to cover.

The headliners are very resistant to water damage. If yours is actually damaged you have most likely had a leak for some time. To change the headliner correctly the interior trim needs to be removed along with the windshield. If it is just a small stain and you want it changed, be careful what you wish for.

I say it as a joke... that " they all do that" comment from myself started back when I was riding Harleys and something would go wrong and somebody else would always say " they all do that".
I now apply the same logic to common problems on Rams.. aka They all do that.

Even if all of them don't do that... they all do that.

It’s always the batteries or third brake light.
