Where can I find a QUALITY rear hatch weather strip for my 87 Eagle?  Mine is a little matted down and starting to leak a bit.  http://

You may still be able to get an NOS from your Local Jeep dealer. That's where I got mine a few years back. NOS ones turn up occasionally on "that most famous auction site" too. Peter Stathes from AMC Rambler carries a lot of Weatherstripping for AMCs, but that's one part he doesn't carry.

I don't remember which one, but one of the vendors in our vendors list has them for about $100.
There had been a rumor that a strip from the Eagle Talon was a good replacement.  Wrong.

On the American Parts Depot site, is the weatherstripping for the Concord/Hornet Hatch the one we want?

I had a line on a wholesale place awhile back, but no one wanted to go in with me on a big roll.  I'll have to see if I can find that email.

I'd be in on that in a heartbeat.  I want a quality high enough, not flat and weak weatherstrip.  :)

Send him an e-mail to see if that is the Spirit he means is the same as our SX/4's.

Yeah, I've been to all those places before and none seem to have the one for wagons. I believe the Concord and Hornet Hatchbacks are different models than the Concord and Hornet Wagons.

I believe this is the style Hatchback they carry stripping for...



Which would be WAY to big since the whole decklid and rear window open with the hatch.

Have you tried your Jeep dealer yet JayRamb? They may have some NOS still.
I even have the part #...
It's Mopar Part# J3742795

I got mine back in 2002, I don't remember how many they said were left in the National Inventory, but I don't think there was a mad rush for them since.  ;D

I emailed that one link and they carry the one for Eagle\Spirit.  He said out of stock but would have them in a week.  I want to get one for my car.
