Only a few trucks, and I mean two or three have reported split body seams at the back of the cab.
Osiris was one of them.

Thanks for the heads up Walrus but I have read his thread too and mine is a similar situation - just on the roof.. We had a blizzard up here in NE yesterday and I took it to the wash today to see if the silicone was holding.. sure enough, no new drips on the towels I laid down across my back window so I believe there are cracked seams on both sides of my cab right above those rivets.. I used clear silicone and one side has bubbles coming from the crack so I think I found it. I'm gonna keep it as is and apply more silicone and wait it out until summer and see if I can get it fixed then.. It might look like total crap since I used gray sealant at first but I'm satisfied that the leak is no more.... *knocks on wood* but I will keep posted on the status and make sure this is in fact my leak(s). Just sucks because other than the different leaks this Titan has been great (4wd came in handy more than once this winter). Thank you again!Only a few trucks, and I mean two or three have reported split body seams at the back of the cab.

Hey Ckay1,My truck has the exact same thing going on. I've narrowed down to the gutters on both sides. What's the best way to fix it? Without silicone lol. I'm under warranty still so I'm going to take it in and try to have them fix it but I really doubt they will. The dealership here is the worst I've ever been to
Geez man I'm sorry about that lol what a scam.. I never really liked the dealers either to be honest.. and I believe mine is the same issue on both sides because looking closer at the paint in the gutters I am noticing more and more cracks etc.. I think I am gonna save up some cash for this summer and just get a new paint job.. Mine isn't the greatest but then again the truck is about 13 years oldOh and they wanted $500 just to take the headliner down to look and see if the water was for sure coming from the cracks, not to fix anything, just for the hour it would take to pull the headliner lol.
^^ Trying to save up some dough for this summer but I think I am gonna take in and get it professionally done (to get the seams fixed also) and check for rust on the inner roof in the cab too. The blizzards seem to have stopped so far and its bright and sunny outside so I am gonna take this chance to basically do what you did and apply more silicone through the whole gutter (I think the whole gutter is screwed). Is your truck still dry?I took the paint off just where the crack was cleaned it up cause there was a little bit of rust on the surface. and got some dynatron seam sealer and put it on there and repainted it with a bottle of touch up paint. Looks good can't even tell I did it besides the cracks being gone. Might try doing it yourself and saving some money. Cost me about 40 dollars, took about an hour and a half to do. With the age of your truck it could be that it's just the paint cracking and the rivets under those trim pieces are leaking to. Mine had about an 1/8 inch gap between them and the body that water could get through.
