Leaking O sh!t driver side handle...2019 2500

[sisupower]

So wife was taking our son to school this morning and it is raining a little and rained over night. Soon as she started going forward water cane out of the handle right above left knee. Anyone have this issue? If so what was wrong or what did the dealer say about it? TIA

From previous comments here, leaks in that area are either from the Sunroof or Cab Lights... which do you have?
For the Sunroof, the lines may just need to be cleaned out... for Cab Lights, a new gasket.

I have a sunroof no cab lights.

For the Sunroof, the drain line may be clogged or it may have become disconnected...
Drain lines should be in the forward part of the door jamb.
I'd be cautious of using highly compressed air to see if the line is clear... the high pressure may disconnect the line.

Same problem for the last 20 plus years in ram trucks, it’s just a tradition at this point.

I thought that was the CHMSL?

This is the first ram I’ve had with sunroof so I didn’t know about it. Of course it’s a tradition now haha

Center High Mount Stop Light

That CHMSL what got me on 2 of my 3rd gens.

what part of it leaked? the gasket, screws, housing? how was it remedied?

Last night I found a slight water stain in the drivers side rear corner of the headliner, next to the rear window.

Mine were well used, so I just pulled the cover off and used some sealant. With a new truck I think I’d take it in and have the dealer fix it.

My sunroof has been leak proof so far, knock on wood. My chmsl, I unscrewed and removed and snapped 2 plastic tabs off so I could slide it up for a better view over my bakflip and when I reinstalled it, I added a bunch of weather seal tape, no issues knock on wood

thanks @SQUATCH - for this... as long as I can get rid of the water stain, I'll try to tackle it myself. My dealer is desperately trying to get their hands on my truck to get all of the recalls completed... you know, the ones that castrates the 6.7? oh, and they never have any loaners for me. Thanks but no thanks

Also, I know they had a TSB out on this that I bet you could track down on the google for one of the previous year rams that detailed exactly how to fix it per the manufacturer.

For the sunroof or the 3rd brake light?
