Raining = water dripping from top console - WTF?

[c5dura]

We're finally getting some much needed rain here in Virginia. It has been raining for something like 30 hours straight now.

The bad news is that when I got in my truck this morning, I noticed that water was dripping from above the rear view mirror though that little cover plate before the lights and other storage compartments mounted in the headliner.

I have a 3500 so I have the roof markers. I think I read there was a TSB or something for this on 2002's? Can anyone give me the number so I can take it to the dealer to get fixed?

Btw, what is behind that little cover plate, Norstar electronics?

Thanks!

I am looking at my invoice for my marker light seal replacement, I dont know if these numbers will help but on the invoice it says (Recall 01071) Parts 15169858 seal 2725.
I am surpised you didnt get the recall notice in the mail. I got my notice right before I went up to Wa. It hadnt leaked yet to that point so I thought I would deal with it later. It did nothing but rain up there and it leaked like a sieve. In my truck there is nothing behind the little cover plate. I dont have the onstar thing so I dont know if thats in there.
