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.

I'm not trying to be a meanie here...
BUT
If you can't afford to do it right the first time, how will you ever be able
to afford doing it over and over again?

If you buy second quality seals, you get second quality.

I do think Mike's suggestion was pretty solid though, did you check the
alignment of your top?

Is it leaking at the top of the glass or the top of the tailgate?

I've seen streaks that look to be inside the glass on mine, so I think
I've got, to some degree, a similar problem. I attributed mine to the
"T"-bar garage hanger.

I never find the bed wet (insert your own joke here) when I check, but
I see streaks that the wiper doesn't clear away. I make sure I pull
the seal back toward the glass when I put it on in the fall.
