2024 Leaking

[kevin74]

Sometime last week, I noticed a water stain on the headliner in my 2024 2500 LTZ. I took pics and though that I needed to make a dealer service appointment when I got a chance. Then, a few days later it was pouring down rain I was driving and noticed water actively leaking into my cab. Turns out I had a leak from the roof lights and rear sliding window (didn't even know it was leaking  back there). So keep an eye out, in case this comes up with anyone else's new truck. One other weird note, the dealership is saying they have to change the windshield to swap out the headliner? Is that legit? I have clear tint on my windshield and I don't want to have to get it reinstalled. Thanks all!

Rear slider leak has been a thing since this generation came out.  

 

If they do need to replace the headliner, yes, the windshield must come out to remove the headliner as its all one piece.

I would also add to make sure your dealership does not do a hack job on the rear slider, I have seen some sh#t work done on that fix here with them just unloading an entire tube of sealant, while other dealers " far better ones " replace the frame, glass and entire assembly.

Is this something I can see without tearing panels out? I can and have taken entire interiors out in the past, but as I get older I find the less effort the better, I only like to tear things out now when there is a purpose. I guess I could use this as an opportunity to dynamat everything or something.

That is unfortunate!  There were also reports of the roof seam weld cracking on some trucks under the black plastic strips on the left and right edges of the roof, resulting in water leaks.  Thank you for sharing.  I will be more aware of it now, but we don't receive enough rain in California to test these leaks often.

Water hose. Spray up in the air.

Just an update:

Originally got truck back, then took it back in for the headliner swap. 2 days after I got it back, leaking again - but not NEARLY as much water. This time, there was a tiny leak from the roof marker lights, the new gasket they had put on previously was torn (so they say). While it was in the dealer I had them look into the AC taking forever to cool down the air. Turns out they had to replace the AC compressor. Blows ice cold right after start up now, but truck was in the dealer for right at a month. Glad to have it back, but paranoid about issues now.
