So spent the day yesterday detailing the outside of our new RAM... washed, iron-x, clay bared, polished and sealed. Looks great!
However, as I was washing it I noticed some black tar looking stuff that was smeared on top of the hood in one spot noticed a little more on the roof. Then saw that just on the passenger side of the windshield at the top edge where it meets the roof line there was some black tar looking caulking type stuff that was smeared into the gap. It only went across about half way or so. So the rest of the top edge of the windshield is just an open gap. It doesn't look very professional and looks like it was an after thought.
I'm questioning if it leaked when the dealer ran it through their car wash and so they tried to address it or if something was missed right from the factory.
Do any of you have a picture you could share of the top edge of the windshield that shows how it was finished off?
Is there supposed to be some kind of sealant in that gap?
Is the gap just open?
Is there some kind of weather stripping that was suppose to be there?
I haven't had it out in the rain yet to know if anything leaks but I didn't see anything from when I washed it but that is a very little amount of water and not at driving speeds.
Another thing to add to the list to check on arrival. Was very hard to notice even out in the sunlight against the dark color.
