Reviews for Fairchild Industries Front Full Steel Door Seal for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Install was easy... Basically stuff gasket in groove and line up push pins.. Gasket was a little long at bottom but fits.. I've power washed the jeep and had one big rain. Leak stopped. These are a lot more economical than the mopar ones and work.
After experiencing 2" of water on the drivers side floorboard, I realized the original door seal was not channeling water away from the bottom of the door. I couldn't stomach $130 for an OE seal from the dealership and found this part. The only reasons I did not give five stars: the door requires extra effort to close and it did take a little time to get the new seal exactly where it needed to be. But, the entire installation was about 15 minutes so I'm not complaining. I will be ordering the other seals soon.
A much needed upgrade from the 13 yr OEM seal. Only four stars because you will need sealant to secure the seal along the top rail. After installing, door wouldn't close properly without adjusting hinges due to thicker and new material.
Unlike the factory door weather seal, this part is not one piece design. The manufacturer uses a glued-in coupling in 2 places, which is how they make it so cheaply. Installation was relatively easy, but noticed when door closeed that there wasn't a consistent, tight seal near the top front of the door. There was a "wrinkle" when the door was closed, and no matter how I adjusted or moved the gasket it wouldn't lay flat. And of course, both doors leaked WORSE than they did before I replaced the seal. Off to order the more expensive Mopar product now.
JUNK. Door seal is 4 - 5" LONGER than the OEM. It will not fit a 2015 2-Door JK. Because I assumed it would I now do not have a door seal on my passenger door and it's going to rain tonight - of course. Stop selling this garbage.
PUDDLES - do not buy. I replaced my 2011 Unlimited Sport OEM seals with these and one day later, there were leaks on both the driver and passenger side. I repeat - do not buy these.
