If someone can help me I'd appreciate it, so thanks in advance. I've damaged my stock OEM 2005 hardtop beyond repair but have found an OEM stock 2003. Can someone tell me the 2003 top should fit my Jeep.
 
Since tou did such a great job on my last question, I thought I'd try for another one! Do you or any of the other knowledgable TJ enthusiasts know if Mopar had a weathstrip that ran along the edge of the TJ body and roof that help prevent wind and water intrusion after the hardtop was fitted to the tub? Since the tub has kind of a little lip designed into the sheetmetal, maybe it isn't needed? I don't know. Thanks again!

Yes, there is a seal that runs along to top of the windshield that stops water and wind noise. There is also a foam seal that runs on the bottom channel of the Hard top where it mates with the body. There is also a seal for the rear window.
 
My TJ has a flat rubber strip on each side of the tub that is about the same width as the flat part the top sits on, but just about any type of seal should work.
