Attempt #2 to fix my "rear-hardtop-glass-wont-stay-shut" problem. Adjusted the tailgate latch bolt thing {raising the closed tailgate a tiny bit) and managed to lower the glass down on the hinges about 1/16-1/8". Seems like it's working now. We'll see in 2 wks. Also installed my 3rd "new car scent" tree-shaped air freshner (from a 3-pk). The good news - spent no money on the jeep... today. :thumbsup:
I was having a similar problem with my rear window. Every time I would close a door, I noticed that the rear window would pop out a bit from the seal area on the tail gate. Of course after it did that, there would be a rattle in the back. I adjusted and readjusted but nothing worked.
Then one day while driving on a rough road, I notice a new noise in the back. Every time I hit a bump, I'd hear a a clunking sound like there was something loose near the back end.
I discovered that the previous owner had apparently removed the hard top at one time, and half of the bolts holding the top on were either loose, or there were no retaining nuts on the bolts at all. I tightened the loose ones & replaced the missing nuts. No more rear window popping out of place and no more rattles in the back.
You might want to take a look at your bolts.
