Cab Roof Lights Leaking - 5/15/2008 7:47:50 PM    Arbo   Posts: 2 Joined: 2/7/2008 Status: offline 2003 Ram 3500 CTD...I believe my roof lights are allowing rain water in.  After a hard rain I am getting a few drops of water from the clip for the sun visor above the rear view mirror.  There is condensation on the inside of three of the light lenses.  Can one buy new seals for the lights?  If not, what is the cure to keep them sealed up?  Thanks in advance for any help.

Pull them off, you should have 3 holes (2 for scerws and 1 for wires). Put a little silicone on the screws and then silicone the hole with the wires. if you want to get rid of the condensation inside the lenses I suggest you get some new recon lights .

Once you get a good bead down, you shouldn't have any problems at all. Just make sure that you remove any wax at all before putting the silicone down. _____________________________ 1998.5 Ram Cummins 24 valve turbo diesel K&N intake Aero Turbine 3.5" exhaust 2005 17" stock Polished Aluminum wheels with 285/70/17 AT Pro Comp's (in reply to savage.basher) Post #: 4

I took the two lenses off that had water in them and found little cracks in them around the screws. I ordered two new lenses from my Dodge dealer which came with new rubber seals and new screws. They were about $8 each. I installed them the other day and we had some good rain for the next two days and no leaks. The part number for the lenses are 55077559-AD. _____________________________ 2006 Ram 2500 CTD SLT 4X4 Thunder Road 6 Speed QCab LWB Mineral Grey, High Idle Feature.
