Hi there. I just replaced my original liftgate weatherstrip on my '02 hardtop with a weather strip off of ExtremeTerrain. I took the old one off just fine, and made sure the base was clean before applying the new one. I had no issue putting the new strip on. It sits flush when I close my trunk. However, when I close one of the front doors, the liftgate now pops open. Any idea on how to fix this? Do I need to purchase an additional weatherstrip, since I haven't changed any of the others on the backside? ET.com's solution was to send me a replacement seal, but I don't know if this will really fix the issue. Hardtop is fully sealed, and I've never taken it off. I also have bar clips on both sides, which have never caused an issue. Thanks!
