Leaking water at tailgate

[CoopDawg]

This is my daughter's Bronco. She loves this thing.

Problem we are having is there is a gap that water is seeping in. Below are the best pictures I could take. I can definitely layer some automotive grade gaskets, but I'm hoping there is something out there made for this issue. Any ideas?

Missing seal? Been known to happen

What would you replace it with?

Would have to look at the parts breakdown for that area. See if there is one there. I can look at mine after work also.

She's not the only one with this issue, here is a link to the post where this photo came from. I did not read thru all 70 pages, but perhaps since others have had this issue a solution has been found.

Wanted to compliment your daughter on her Bronco. Looks great in all black. The gap is present on all Broncos. But the OEM HT has a "lip" gasket on the glass that seals against the tailgate. Her Bronco has an Armadillo HT. You might want to reach out to them to see if they have an "official" part. Otherwise you'll be left concocting your own seal.

Yes, that is the "lip" gasket that I refer to on the OEM HT. The Armadillo HT that the OP's daughter has doesn't have that.

Anyone have the part number to order?

I have a Rallytop and the gap isn't that big, but it still leaks

I just layered some small pieces of weather stripping there. The leak isn't 100% stopped, but it went from big puddle in the back to a few drips when it rains.

Also, that is a nice looking Bronco

Not sure if the that "lip" gasket for the OEM HT fits the Armadillo HT. But @Ducati1098 might be able to help get the part number.
