Hi
I have a '97 TJ. When it rains I get a lot of water collecting inside
the trunk.
The leak is between the seal and the tailgate window at the top. I
have put silicone dressing on the rubber but that did not help.
Any suggestions?

I can't find any source to buy this weatherstripping for a TJ. Anyone
have a link?


Thanks
Jimmy

 

When that happens to my CJ7, it means I don't have the roof on square.
There is a fair amount of wiggle room when installing the hardtop and
lining up the back corners is a big part of it.

Other than that I would just add some sticky backed foam
weatherstripping to seal it.

If it IS the weatherstrip gone bad, why not go to the dealership and buy an
OEM rubber seal?

Makes sense to me.

Drill an eighth inch hole to let the water out. Put a dab of the wife's
nail polish on it stop rust from starting.
