CJ8 Hardtop weatherstripping

[spk396427]

New to this forum. Started a rebuild thread ages ago but am almost finished (just stopped posting progress). Here is the thread. https://www.jeepforum.com/threads/83-cj-8-reclamation-project.496513/#nested_reply_top_post

The top had just stacks of camper/truck cap weatherstipping on it haphazard when I got it. I have that all stripped. I've labeled the 3 surfaces that may need a gasket. The number 3 is the surface that tucks under the mounting flange. 2 is the flat surface that I believe would seal against the top/flat part of the windshield (that faces up, not the mouting flange that is vertical/faces fwd that you drill the top into), 1 is the back of the front/lower lip of the roof you see right above the windshield when bolted in place.

What is factory and/or what are people hear running for seals? Thanks!!!

Does anyone have a picture of their hardtop gasket sealing area? Am I posting in the wrong place? Thanks!

Do you want pics of the windshield seal or the bulkhead seal area?

Not to hijack.. but I would be interested in both since I'm getting in the mood to redo my half top. Also rubber gasket for rear glass

Both, but especially the windshield, in the areas I labeled (the 4 surfaces on the leading edge). Thanks!

Yes, call GR8Tops. Matt is the owner and is the owner/founder of this forum. He'll tell you everything you need and likely has what you need for sealing.
