Transparent Jeep Liftgate Seal
The Fairchild Industries D3028 is a transparent liftgate window seal built for 1968 to 1986 Jeep CJ5 and Scrambler models. It replaces the original rubber weatherstrip to keep water, dust and wind noise out of the cargo area. Restoration owners and daily drivers of these classic Jeeps will find it a direct-fit replacement part.
Installed Seal Performance
Once fitted the seal closes the gap between the liftgate glass and the body tub. The flexible transparent material compresses to block rain and trail dust while reducing wind whistle at highway speeds. It requires no power and adds no electrical draw to the vehicle.
Build Fit And Requirements
The strip mounts into the existing liftgate channel using the factory retention method, so no new holes or adhesive are needed. It frees the interior from leaks that can damage carpet, insulation and stored gear. Buyers who need a seal for a different Jeep generation or a hardtop model cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1968-1986 Jeep CJ5 liftgate window seal and what step is commonly missed?
Clean the mounting channel thoroughly before pressing the new seal into place; the step most often skipped is removing all old adhesive residue so the fresh rubber bonds evenly.
What maintenance or replacement will the D3028 window seal need over time?
Inspect the transparent rubber annually for cracking or hardening caused by UV exposure and replace it once the material no longer compresses to keep water and wind out.
What is the first limit that appears on the Fairchild Industries D3028 seal during sustained use?
Continuous sun and heat cycles cause the transparent compound to lose elasticity first, leading to gaps around the liftgate window before the seal physically tears.
