Can anyone tell me if they have had issues with weather stripping adhesive melting and the seals on the top melting as well, i have 4dr blk hard top, and the first time i noticed this was in may , ( a week after i purchased) I left it park while i was in florida for a week, when i returned i heard air and smelled like something was burning, i took it to the shop when i finally realized what it was, and they didn't replace the weather stripping but applied mor adhesive. Now it is doing it again , and i have adhesive in different places on my passenger side and whenever the roof is removed i get this long "taffy like" string of adhesive, any suggestions?

 

Its not the weather strip melting, it the sealent for the front windshield weather strip. There is a TSB on this and requires them to clean up the access sealent. I did it myself with alittle WD-40.

 

There was a TSB about this ... The Butyl Adhesive was overdone at the factory. I had the same problem with my 2 door around the top of the door panels where the rubber seals on the windshield are. Made a freaking mess when I went to clean it up -- had to use bug and tar remover. I fixed it myself -- but print out this TSB and take it to your dealer:

Hope that helps!

 

I was unaware this was a TSB, until now. I had the same problem on the passenger side. Quite a bit came out, but cleaned up with a little effort using auto goo gone as suggested by the dealer.

 

Yea, there is no real reason to let the dealer do this, takes no more than 5 minutes to do.

 

Yea thats what I did.............

 

Yeah no kidding. It was WAY overdone. The third day I got mine off the lot a friend shut the passenger side door and the crap literally splatted in a 4" diameter where the top left of the door meets the top left of the windshield.

Took some major scrubbing to get it off.

 

I had this problem on my drivers side.... a little elbow grease and 10 minutes and it was good to go.

 

This happened to me too. But instead of putting the panel in the garage, I put it in the back! After 10 minutes of cleaning the carpet, it only took about 5 minutes to clean the excess from the roof. Moral of the story: don't be a dumb @ss!
