HI EVERYONE...I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN TALKED
ABOUT BEFORE, BUT I HAVE A LEAK, WHEN RAINING,RUNNING DOWN MY DRIVERS SIDE GRIP
HANDLE. I DID HAVE MY WEATHER STRIPPING REPLACED BECAUSE OF A TEAR A FEW MONTHS AGO. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD A LEAK. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHERE THIS MIGHT BE COMING FROM? THANKS FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS.

 

I just had the same thing again for the third time, only on the passenger side handle. Do you have a sunroof. I'm wondering if it's the windshield, sunroof, or door. There are several people who have indicated leaks but I don't know of the fixes yet. I'll be going to the dealer next week. I hate to leave it with them, just don't trust anyone.

I had this leak for one trip... soon as I opened and slammed the door it went away but I would be interested in know what causes the problem... I also have a wind whistle I have not found.

Thanks

NO I DON'T HAVE A SUNROOF, AND IT'S THE FIRST
AND ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IF YOU FIND
OUT ANYTHING FROM THE DEALER, PLEASE LET ME
KNOW WHAT YOU'VE HEARD.

 

I took my truck in yesterday for the leak fix. They didn't get to it but they did tell me their body man says it's a common problem. Likely many leak and people don't know it as it's not enough to run out into the cab. Could be a rust problem in the roof a few years from now though. I will be taking the truck to the body guy myself and asking to watch the fix. When done I'll try and post pictures so all can see.

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS EVERYBODY.BEING THAT IT SEEMS TO COME FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE
WINDSHIELD OR ROOF AREA, I'LL ASK THE DEALER
ABOUT THAT. LIKE YOU SAID, IF IT CAUSES A
RUSTING PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD, I'D RATHER GET
THE PROBLEM ON THE BOOKS NOW IN CASE OF ANY
WARRANTY PROBLEMS. THANKS AGAIN

 

Mine is clearly dripping in through the roof somewhere to come off the grab handle. This is rather discouraging to see what looks like a good truck have so many BS problems, leaks through windows, firewalls, roof.

 

I drove through a monsoon from that tropical depression last weekend and my carpet on the rear driver's side got soaked. Did not appear to be running down from the rear slider, but wonder if it came up through the floor pan. I pulled up the carpet by the rear door wiped up water and let it dry. Pulled out a rubber plug but it did not appear to be the problem. Anybody had a problem with water on the rear floor?

 

NOT YET, THANK GOD! BUT I HAVEN'T RUN THRU
ANY REAL DEEP WATER YET. SO FAR IT SOUNDS
LIKE A ROOF OR WINDSHIELD PROBLEM FOR ME.
