Put all new seals on truck.

How does the top seal for the rear hatch that attaches to the body suppose to work?

It only goes on one way. The seal has 3 notches that go around the hinges and the wire grommet for power to the wiper.

So, the part that pushes onto the body seam is easy. The other part that folds or has a crease, is that suppose to stick over the top of the hatch? If so it doesn't stay.

Wish I had time to take pictures, was a busy weekend.

Big issue was the water that leaked in there. It seemed to have stopped 98% of that. Moved the leak down to the right side half way down. I adjusted the strike pins (think that is what they are called) with a hammer to bring the door in tighter. I ran out of time to do another water test to see if it leaks any more.

Next on list is new carpet, cause it is nasty from being wet.

This is the way it's supposed to attach. Rubber over the hatch.
