DMT 2002-2008 Dodge RAM 1500 third brake light / Center High Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) gasket. Fixes 3rd brake light leaks. This material will not shrink or take a set like the cheap factory PVC foam gasket. This gasket is a .187" thick, automotive spec, EPDM foam rubber gasket.
2002 02 2003 03 2004 04 2005 05 2006 06 2007 07 2008 08 Dodge Ram 1500
NOT FOR 2500 or 3500 trucks.
Note: The old gasket has to be cleaned off the light! Its a real PIA but necessary. Shown in the 3rd picture is the gasket installed.
I've been getting the following questions;
- Is this is a lot thicker than the factory one. NOPE. Gaskets don't work that way. It's slightly thicker. Much thicker would only warp the light. This is the highest quality EPDM foam rubber. THATS the difference from the cheap materials the factory used.
- Should I use glue or silicone or cement with the gasket. NOPE.
- If a tree fell on my truck will it still seal the light. NOPE.
- Will it prevent a flat tire. NOPE.
WARPED LAMP HOUSINGS FROM HOT INCANDESCENT BULBS - I have had 2 customers now who said they have had to replace thier 3rd brake lamp because the housing was warped in the center. One customner said he switched to an LED bulb. Great idea.
DO NOT purchase if you don't think you have the skills required to remove the adhesive backing!!!!
LASTLY, this is a high quality gasket. IF there is still a leak then IT WASN'T THE GASKET. Check the satellite antenna (gasket), check the rear window seal, check the plastic roof seam sealing strips, CHECK FOR WARPED LIGHT HOUSING.
Materials
.187" high quality automotive spec black foam rubber with adhesive backing to attach to light. Much better material than OEM
