I have read plenty of threads on the topic, most of them quite old. I'm curious if the same situations still exist - ultimately that most aftermarket seals just don't work well...

I'm in need of replacing some seals on the TJ, and need to have a few extras for the LJ as they will need to be modified to properly fit the Gr8Tops Safari Top.

It seems the current list of easily found seals are from:
Crown
Fairchild
Precision

And a handful of rando's form Amazon, probably copies of the above 3

Also curious if the same problem exists for the hardtop seal of it being sent folded and not working vs finding one sent if a straight flat box.

Any thoughts?

If there's anyone that I would trust that might have been through this a lot over the years it would be mrblaine. I'm not poking the bear with the @ symbol if I'm wrong. 🤫

I have used fairchild for my door and hood to cowl seals. As well as windshield and hood bumpers.

I was satisfied. Not sure how the rest stack up.

The OEM Mopar header gasket above windshield was still available for my 99 last year.

I used aftermarket pre cut seals for the hardtop/tub and they fit excellent, I will try to find the mfg/seller.
