Body Seals & Weatherstripping for Jeep CJ5
Door, Window and Hardtop Weatherstrips for a Tight, Quiet Ride (1972–1983).
Why Seals on the Jeep CJ5 Turn Brittle and Start Leaking Over Time.
The rubber seals around the doors, windows, and hardtop are among the most weather-exposed components on a Jeep CJ5's entire body. Over the decades, UV radiation, ozone, and constant temperature swings take their toll on the EPDM rubber: it hardens, loses elasticity, and eventually cracks. On a vehicle originally built for off-road use with full steel doors and a removable hardtop, the consequences show up quickly – wind noise at higher speeds, moisture creeping in at the windshield frame and door jambs, and rust forming on body sections that stay hidden from view. The hood-to-grille grommet between the radiator grille and hood also turns brittle over time, leaving the hood to rattle. Anyone restoring or daily-driving a CJ5 should check these seals regularly and replace them before moisture causes lasting damage to sheet metal and interior.
- Full Steel Door Seals: The left driver's door seal and the right passenger's door seal are available individually or as a space-saving pair set for both sides.
- Window Wiper Seals: The 4-piece inner and outer wiper seal set comes for doors with a fixed or movable triangle window, plus separately as an outer pair, or individually right and left.
- Glass Seals: The windshield weatherstrip seal seals all the way around, while the windshield-frame-to-cowl seal closes the gap to the body.
- Hardtop Seals: The side hardtop glass pane seal and the hardtop-to-windshield-frame seal keep the connection between hardtop and windshield tight.
- Small Parts: The hood-to-grille grommet cushions and seals the gap between the radiator grille and the hood.
American Quality for Every Seal Point.
All door seals and window wiper seals come from Fairchild Industries, an established US supplier known for solid American manufacturing quality. The windshield, hood, and hardtop-to-frame seals are supplied by Crown Automotive, also US-based. The windshield-frame cowl seal and the side hardtop glass seal come from Omix, another long-standing American manufacturer in the Jeep parts market.
