Can't speak for the Crown Automotive seals..., but the Mopar OEM tailgate seal purchased 2 years ago and installed on my '01 last summer slid into the retaining grooves, the locating pins which fit perfectly at the turns and in length and came with adhesive to ease the installation.
where’d you find that mopar seal? Ive been out of luck
Packing list say this is for a 97-06 but unless I’ve got an aftermarket tailgate Im not seeing how this is gonna work.

I just replaced the door seals on the LJ and the tailgate seal goes all the way to the top of the tailgate. Unless I'm not seeing something due to shadows, you need to move the seal up:

If you find one that works, please update this thread
the Fairchild Industries seal I bought from RockAuto fits as expected
