My 2000 leaked. They told me to silicone it - I did and that solved the problem.

I believe the issue is with the 09-18 models. I haven't had a problem yet with my 14. The lights have a screw at each end but the center does not. The housing has some flex to it so it doesn't push up tight to the body. At least that's what it looked like to me when I took mine out to change the bulb. My 05 Daytona leaks water thru the 3rd brake lite,so the problem is earlier than 09.After Googling this it seems that this is a real common problem with these trucks.

How did I miss this and what years are we talking about? I don't know about the newer ones, but it started in 1994. I've always just assumed they'd solved it at some point, apparently not. Robert

'02-up 1500s and '03-up 2500s leak there. My '06 did. Made a new gasket like others. I also found something about sealing the rear window... Don't know about earlier Rams. Tim

My 13 leaks at the sliding rear window. I haven't figured out how to stop that yet. The water runs down to the well under the rear seat on the passenger side. I have a sponge in there to absorb it.
74 Challenger, bought it new. In 1978 I replaced the original 318 with a 446 and 727. Mild cam, Jardine headers, and Holley Sniper EFI. New engine! 511" RB, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, Eagle rotating assy, Comp hyd roller cam, Doug's 2" headers.

Literally 1,000 threads on any of the Ram Forums
I caught my 2011 early - Filled up the storage area with water behind the drivers seat , under the rear seat during a down poor literally brand new
I gutted the interior and dried everything out - Lucky my headliner was untouched
I already knew what the dealer fix under warranty was
So Metro self stick weatherstripping at Autozone has worked awesome ever since , just clean and scrape off the cheap gasket first off the third brake light
I cant believe dealers where actually using silicone adhesive or just replacing the third brake light with the crap gasket over again
On the sliding rear window all I had to do was blow out the three water channels under the bottom seal with compressed air
Two of them where filled with black adhesive from the factory so the water could never escape

How did I miss this and what years are we talking about? To be honest I think it's Generations 2, 3 and 4 with Gen 3 and 4 being the worst.

On the Second Gens, 1994-2001. I take a strip of foam weather strip and run it continuously from the bottom of one side up and over the top to the bottom of the other side. Then I run a strip along the bottom.
Seems to work.

Jim, if you make some good ones that do the trick, I'll take one.
