2013 JKU Rubi Pinch Seams Done at Factory!
Hey everyone -
I just saw some news on FB about the pinch seams on a 2013 being pre-trimmed at the factory. I didn't know if this was the case... but I ran out to the garage and took a look at the 2013 I took delivery of last week and sure enough the seams are pre-trimmed!
I know this isn't anything major... but I'm happy I won't have to do any cutting/painting on the body of my brand new JK for a while. Thought I'd share the info as it was news to me!

For anyone that's curious, the end isn't capped/welded/sealed - they just stick some foam in it:
It is a clean cut and is painted... but they don't close it up.

When I cut mine I saw the foam inside so that is the same. Looks like they must have done this before painting. I think I would still silicone this and seal it up to keep out the elements. Still easier then cutting and sealling, just seal.
