I got in my truck the other day and drove out of the parking lot when a drop of water dripped on my hand!! I looked and it was coming from the piece next to the mirror(The visor mount that us used to lock the visor in normal use) I am pretty sure one of the clearance lights must be leaking. I will be calling the dealer to have him fix it. I am wondering if anybody else has had this problem?

 

i dont know about newer trucks but ive heard of them leaking on the 2nd gens after a little while. I know from experance the 3rd break light gasket goes too. With the clearance lights its possable the gasket is bad, installed wrong or the screws were over tightend cracking the plastic.

 

Rusted out cab roofs is common with the cab lights. Thats why you won't find any cab lights on my truck

They leak

 

mine was leaking from the same spot, luckily i noticed it before i bought the truck, so i had them order a new cab light and got it fixed about a week later, no problems since...knock on wood

 

Yes, twice. That's OK, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as the leaking I'm getting under the pedals.

I hope Dodge never tries to build boats.

 

They would be fine boats.....it's just the people that want lights on the bottom that would have issues.

 

Unfortunately it is common. Mine did that so I pulled the ones off that had moisture in them and sealed them to the gaskets and then sealed the gaskets to the roof with clear silicone...

 

So far have not noticed any cab water leaks, but I did have all five roof clearance lights replaced by the dealership under warranty just a couple days ago. They all had what I'm calling stress cracks in them. They all looked to be internal cracks, and I really could not feel the crack on the out side of the lens. Cause may be over tightening at the factory or just exposure from the sun with maybe condensation build up I guess.

I noticed that Dodge has switched to a different cab light for '06. It appears the new lights have a different gasket design.

I personally have experienced several leaking lights on various Dodge trucks that I've owned and thats why my '06 was ordered without lights.
