There's two on yours? I mean that strip of foam rubber that runs across
the bottom of the windshield frame on top of the cowl. You lower the
windshield to get at it. Anyway thanks, if it's around 22 bucks then
I'll save some time and shipping costs and pick it up myself.

FWIW, I replaced the cowl seal on my '94 YJ this year with a dealer-sourced
part number. It's about the same quality as the one I got from 4wd Hardware
for my '76 CJ5 resto project Jeep. It did not fit well and it leaks a bit
under high pressure washing. The old one was fairly well used up, starting
to deteriorate from age, so I installed the new one anyway.

Whoops. Must have spent too much time with the carburetor cleaner over
the weekend and misunderstood you. Sorry about that. I also have to
retract my statement for dealer vs. online parts. I was thinking about
the door glass weatherstripping, which I got at the dealer for $22 but
for some reason is at least $35 online, no matter where I have looked.
However, as I'm looking to replace the liftgate seal I'm finding out
that the dealer wants $80, when it's sold for about $40 online! Guess
there's no rule of thumb...

I'm probably going to need to do what you're doing in the near future.
Post back what price you end up getting from the dealer.

FYI, it's $25 at Tellico...

Yeah Tellico's the cheapest I've found yet, I haven't looked but they're
probably charging 5 bucks for shipping anything over 25 bucks with their
flat rate scheme so I probably wont be ordering it from them. I'll stop
at "Joe Jacoby Jeep Crysler" near me and see what they want here in the
next few days; and post the price.
