Last week I started to hunt around for a new rear window rubber seal for my 2001 RT.
I soon discovered that you cannot get the seal alone, and basically need to buy a whole new window (approx $500)
Well me being half Jewish, half Scottish, and half Irish, I set about trying to find another solution.
After visiting a few trim places and manufacturers I came across a rubber which works pretty well. Installed this morning and pictures are attached. Looks really good and fits well.
For those that are interested;
To remove what is left of the damaged seal I used a Stanley knife. Heat did not seem to help. You just have to cut of the old one and get it cleaned up as best you can. This took me about 1 hour.
I installed the new seal in about 10 minutes using a rubber mallet where needed, mainly on the corners.
Start and finish is top dead centre.
The seal is a tubular bulb design with two lips. I purchased the seal from
www.McMaster.com page 3214 #9 (part # 12335 A421) 10ft length.
Total cost was $20.56 delivered to my door.
Will also work for Gen 1 windows
