Hi all.
That dang seal or whatever it is called on the top of the window has dried out and swelling off the window.
I am trying to find out the correct name of this seal so I can order the part on line but I need the correct name for it.

Could someone give me the correct name or even a part number.

Thanks

 

thanks for asking because I need one too :-)

 

bump............

 

I'm in the same boat too.

 

Well, looks like many people have the same issue. Now if we can get an answer that would be GREAT!

 

Well, after 30 min at the dealer for "eyes on" because they did not know what I was talking about on the phone. I have the information now.

It's a: LIFT GATE GLASS UPPER SEAL 55256638AC.

I see it fits many of Durango's but check your year and model before you commit to buying that part#.
My dealer wants $30.60 for it, I just bought a Mopar part for $3 on eBay + $8 S&H. I found the part ranging from $13 to $45 online some with free S&H or up to $10. You will need to search around.

I hope this helps everyone.

 

Nice! Now you just need to do an installation writeup

 

Clean glass, spray silicon on seal and fight to put it on.

Yup, I think that will be the way it will go.

 

Well, I have the part and have time to install it, however as I was removing the old one, I find that it has a black sticky Goo on the inside and where it has raised up it has no Goo.
So my thought is this:
When originally done they did not cover it correctly in Goo so it's Dodges fault.
The old strip is probably reusable but I am going to replace it anyway.

Problem at this point is that Dodge wont tell me what Goo to use. I drove down and showed them the Goo and asked "I am replacing this strip what Goo is this and can I order it from you?" I was told "We cant tell you because you will do it your self or have someone do it besides us"

So, my challenge now is to find out what sticky Goo that needs to be used to put this strip back on. I asked two glass repair places and they wont replace the rear windows on a Durango and they don't know what to use.

So my question to you all - Can someone try and find out what sticky Goo that Dodge uses for the Upper Rear Window Seal please?

 

my guess is it is just an automotive RTV type of material
