 Post subject: My KK leaks in rear bedliner area

I discovered water leaking from the edge of the center plastic moulding up high in front of the rear hatch.
How do I remove the moulding from the bedliner so I can locate the source?
This happened during rainy weather. I subsequently sprayed the outside of the roof at a car wash to try to
duplicate the problem-(you guessed it)- no leak. Then I drove the next day for an hour, and the leak was back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure how the KK come apart but possible causes could be the rear window washer line leaking,the rear washer nozzle leaking where it comes through the roof,the rubber gasket around the 3rd brake light,or the sat antenna(if you have one) could be loose and leaking.I'd start with those.

If i remember right, there is a tsb on the leak...just call your dealer and ask them. If you can't get any information, let me know and i will get you the tsb number

You de man, Diggerfreak. Here's what I found at www.allworldauto.com/tsbs/mmyDetails.php?id=242882

Just had this happen to me the other day, I am long past my warranty, so I gave it a go myself. Turns out it was the antenna on top that was leaking, so I sealed it up with silicone and now its good to go, in case any other people don't want to pay to fix this!

It's an old post but still relevant. Just had mine fixed for the same issue. Was leaking from the factory roof rails.

I just picked up a 2010 with 20,000kms on it and notice a drip on the inside of the back glass during a heavy rain. Glad I saw this here so I can go get it fixed.

It's good to know my "old" post has opened a path for others to solve the same issue. And thanks to Diggerfreak, I was able to present a printed copy of the TSB to my dealer service dept. here in Canada, who could not initially find it on Chrysler Canada's website because some employee there was busy thinking about his weekend instead of including it in the subject list that dealers consult. Long story short, dealer fixed the leak under warranty and I've had no problem since. In my case it was the roof rail gasket . I'm grateful for what I learn from this group.

I have the same issue on my 2010 that I bought June 1st. I took it to the dealer on Thursday and they said they didn't have the gasket in stock. But in the mean time, they tried to remold the gasket with a heat gun (which did not work).

So...it's now Wednesday and still no seal :furious:
