Crew Cab WATER FEATURE

[Ben S]

Mine was leaking from the rear brake light not being properly sealed. I have a video of it dripping water in during a strong rainstorm. It was position dependent. While it was raining I moved the truck and it quit. Took it back to the dealer and had it fixed. No more leaks. Ask them to check for damage to your headliner and upholstery as that should be covered under warranty.

The headliner material also does not absorb water. It is a hard board synthetic material.

Mine did the same thing over a weekend, did my own findings, yep 3rd brake light, found it to be the body, upper part of hole is not straight, it is flexed inward, so the seal never makes contact with the body, I could see it on the foam seal, no depression on the foam
took a small straight egde, and pulled out the lip until it was straight, reinstalled brake light, problem solved, I told my dealer, and they said they were going to forward this to fca to have all this check to resolve these problems. I don't know if he did or didn't, but for what it is worth y'all might check yours, easy fix.

So Sag2, is he best fix to reseal the oem gasket with silicone? Do you recommend something else?

Mine started leaking so I stopped into the dealer. He ordered a new center mounted brake light assembly. He said that a new part number has been released - but that it was back ordered for 3 weeks. Who knows if that's the truth...

Seems to be a common problem. I removed my light and installed a length of 6mm foam butyl tape. The gasket they use is not very well engineered. This was over a year ago and still dry. Also this has been a problem with all manufacturers.

I pulled mine. Put silicon on the gasket and reinstalled. A lot faster than 100 mile round trip to the dealer. I put the truck inside , windows 1/2 way down and ran a fan for a couple days it dried out fine but I did find two cats in the truck when I came back. No more leaks and I evicted the cats
