Tailgate seal

[82_wagon]

Hey guys my tailgate/rear window weather stripping is leaking, what are you using to replace it? I've heard of some using a mini van seal but don't know what year make and model.

Caleb,
Go to your local U-pull-it yard and check out the Chrysler minivans....like Plymouth Voyager or Dodge Caravan. .I assume the years you want are somewhere in the 2000's. Don't be afraid to check out other brands of minivans as well... also someone even mentioned Ford Explorers.

I have GM seal on mine, think it was a Venture van

Thanks Brian,
That's the other one I couldn't think of.

Threw that one in for the guys that won't put a 9 inch under their car "because it's a FORD part"

We have found that the G-body trunk seal fits the wagon tailgate quite nicely with zero trimming involved and no need to rummage through the junkyard.

....and there's enough to cover the tailgate/ hatch opening? That would be my next concern.

I remember you guys used to carry the OEM wagon rear seals years back. This might have been under the former ownership.

Thank you for putting that info out there.

Any pics of one installed?

I have seen what the trunk seal looks like profile wise, it's more than adequate for use on a wagon providing that the length is there.

The seals are very long most people with the conventional trunk have to remove quite a bit of material. As far as the glass, I have never had a car to test on so I cannot say yes or no.

Unfortunately, I lost the pictures that I had but I have sold them to quite a few people with really good success.
