About a week ago I noticed water dripping while it was raining from my grab handle on the driver's side area. A couple of days later the weather changed to freezing and my windshield cracked. Insurance replaced the cracked wind shield and the technician said that it was due to the cause was door seal/roof seam seal. This was a recall on Dodge Ram 2002 through 2004 reference #23-003-04. I went to the dealer and basically was told nothing is cover for the same problem on my 2005 Dodge Dakota. Even though it is the same problem. Also being told that unless the government issues a recall or replacement Dodge will not fix this.
