taking on water?
well I've had my truck just over a year and have 22,000 miles on it, and the weather is starting to change, recently it has rained for a few days straight, and today as I get in the truck to go to work I noticed water driping from the sunvisor latches on both the driver and passeger side, and wonder if any one has had a leak like this? I work 12 hr days so I wont be able to look at it for a few days until i'm off. at least its not supposed to rain any more for a few days. it looks like the center three cab clearance lights have moisture in them but did not feel loose, and are most likely the cause of the leak but would like to hear if anyone has imput /or had the same thing happen before I take a look into it monday.. my friends say hey its under warranty just take it to the dealer, but I feel the less they mess with my truck the better off I'll be, and scince it hasn't ever done this before scince i've had it , no mater what the weather or car wash etc. I feel its not going to be anything major, and if I do find something bad then I can take it to the dealer knowing what the problem is.

This has been a known problem since 2003. Just pull the lights one at a time and run a bead of silicone around the holes in the roof to act as a "dam". Reinstall the lights and add silicone to the screws before installing. Now, here is the trick. Put a dab of silicone on top of the screw heads after tightening. The water fills up the recess around the screw and seeps in.

thanks for the info , I was thinking they were the culprit, and when i get to take 'em apart I will use sealer ( like the right stuff ) around them and on the screws ,then cover the screw heads, as I hope to only sink once,lol.

The Dodge TSB just replaces the lights with a slightly different style and the same old crappy foam gaskets. You'll be good to go once they are manually sealed. Glad to help.
