Back slider window has been leaking for years and filling up the rear compartment with water. Dealer says this is a common problem with Ram trucks and have received thousands of complaints already. Dealer said they can replace it at a cost of approximately $550.00. It's definitely the slider window that leaks because I sealed the glass completely around with Silicone. However, it continued to dump water in the compartment under the rear seat.

I proved my suspicions that it's the slider glass window by buying a $2.49 bicycle inner tube, inflating it around the window and truck cap and stopping the leak. Cheap fix but not a permanent one. Apparently Dodge has been aware of this problem for years but do nothing about it. There should have been a recall but. . .that costs them money. What really ticked me off was the dealer calling in their "window" man to test for leaks - that I already knew. To boot, the dealer charged me over $50.00 for the water test. Go figure.

I have a 2006 ram 2500 Quad cab 4x4 diesel 5.7L 8' bed. She's a beast!

During the recent Hurricane in the north, I left the rear sliding rear window open slightly and the Rt Passenger rear window.

My rear compartment had filled with water underneath the rear seat just behind the driver seat. I just figured it was because I left tow windows open.

Now, some weeks later, we have had a couple more storms. I have made sure that the windows were closed. Again after the rain storm this past week, I noticed again that the same compartment had filled with water.

After reading the complaint of the rear window seal, and now maybe the rear sliding window, I'm destressed on a $42,000 truck that's in beautiful shape and almost paid for.

Now what? any suggestions anyone? help!
