I have heard it is hard to get the windshield to seal back up. Anybody have any experience with this?

 

What are you trying to do to seal it? Just lowering it and putting it back up? If thats it then I have only heard its a pain in the ass to do, too time consuming.

 

I haven't tried it yet. The dealer made me nervous by telling me they don't seal back up.

 

Sniper. If you are asking about lowering the windshield down, and then does it seal when the windshield is bolted back upright, the dealer is semi-correct.

In my case on 2007 JK, I unbolted and flapped the windshield down for a trail ride, and since then have never got the windshield and rollbar to bolt back exactly to the same spot, the white undercoat still shows about 1/2 an inch. I'm handy when comes to bodywork but this one escapes me, as to why.

At the factory, the front rollbars are sprayed body-color when in their bolted position, so when you remove them to lower the windshield you will see the overlapping bolt area is NOT sprayed body-color, it is only sprayed with a white undercoat.

You'd think the windshield would bolt back and line up 100% but it didn't in my case - its only cosmetic and no bother to me, as my windshield DOES completely seal and is watertight against rain and weather.

Long explanation, but now you may see why dealer is semi-correct.

 

Thank you, that seems like something that you think jeep would have thought of.
