I was cleaning out my truck and noticed first my darling kids have splashed something on my headliner in a few spots. Then I notice a water ring, a decent size right behind/below the third brake like and another one above the rear drivers side passenger headrest. I have the light tan headliner so they are pretty visible as is the kids mess. This is my first Ram but a Google search shows a common leak at the third break light. I searched on here and noticed the A pillar and grab handle being mentioned but no recent issues with the third brake light. I’ll swing by the dealer today and see what they say. Anyone had this problem with their 2019+ Ram?

Water stained headliner near rear window

Well appears to still be a ongoing problem. The dealer service writer said they just replaced a headliner on a 2500 and his personal 2020 1500 had the same issue and he wasn’t aware until it messed up some module behind the rear seat. Going to make an appointment to try and figure out where it’s coming from.

Common problem. After the dealership installs a new headliner stop by Lowe's or Home Depot on the way home for some rubber weather stripping. As soon as you get home, pull the 3rd brake light assembly off (simple to do) and replace the spongy OEM 'weatherstrip' with the rubber stuff from the hardware store (make sure the two ends meet on the bottom of the light). Problem solved.

I’ve also got a water stain on my headliner, but it’s not centered by the brake light. It appears to be more on the passenger side. Is there anyplace else this could be coming from? I’ve also got a lot of road/wind noise coming from the back of the truck. Any possible relation? I feel like this should be a clear warranty issue, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to cost me a pretty penny since I’m beyond the warranty mileage.
