5 Door problem

The pickup truck was given to the dealer 2 times already and the interor leakage problem still exists. On the first attempt, the dealer claimed that I left the door open and it was my fault the vehicle leaked. On the second attempt at taking it to the dealer, I sat in their lobby for an hour-and-a-half while they claimed they were fixing the problem. The next day it rained and the vehicle continued to leak. I am contacting the dealer tomorrow for a third attempt at repair.
