Soft Top Rear Window Tailgate Bar

mixham · 02-21-2006, 09:07 AM

I noticed a gap between the bottom of my rear window bar and the top of my tailgate. I think there's supposed to be a piece of weatherstripping attached to the bar to help seal this area.

Does anyone know of a way to repair this without replacing the whole bar?

Thanks

just go to lowes or home depot and buy some ewather stripping for like 5-10 bucks and stick it on

What's the best way to "stick it on"?

You didn't install it backwards did you? Don't ask me how I know...

95% of the weather stripping you can buy from a home improvment store has an adhesive strip on one side

Thanks for tips guys.

Bar was already installed when I got the jeep, but I'll check to make sure it's not in backwards.

Off to the hardware store for the cheap fix
