Water drip

[Bartlett]

Driving home in a downpour yesterday I saw what I thought was water dripping on my leg and sure enough it was water coming from the little plastic doodad that holds the sun visor. This was on the drivers side visor the clip closest to the overhead console. Now before I invest too much time looking I know someone else must have had this problem. I know there was a issue with cab light lenses cracking so I am hoping that this is it or the gasket. The truck now has snow/ice so once it warms up I will take a closer look. I really hope that it is not a windshield gasket seal leaking. Has anyone had the windshield gasket leaking ? or is it usually a cab light/gasket issue? On an upside I am glad that it is not incontinence setting in at an early age :-laf

pretty safe bet it is from the cab lights. easiest to check and fix too. .

Mine did the same thing yesterday... I looked at the clearance lights... Two of 'em are leaking. The Dealer # 1 said there was no way that could happen. OK, on to dealer # 2... They said bring it in next Thursday for their "leak specialist" to look it over.



Amazing how little the dealers know about their own product... ...

It's the cab clearance lights, had two of 'em with little cracks on my truck and leaked exactly the way you described.....

My 04 had this. It isn't the gaskets, its the screws that are outside the gasket, so they aren't sealed. I put a dab of silicone sealant, like the bathroom caulk, in clear, on each screw and this cured the leaks. I don't take a whole lot, just pull each screw, put the dab on there, and reinsert the screw.
