This seal, basically, creates a watertight and airtight barrier between the roof panel and the vehicle’s body. It compresses when the roof panel is secured, filling in any small imperfections or gaps. It’s made of a flexible rubber or sometimes a foam material designed to withstand temperature changes and weather. Think of it as a key part of keeping the elements out. Rain, snow, dust, wind noise – it’s meant to stop all that from getting inside the car when the roof panel is on. It’s installed around the perimeter of where the roof panel sits, creating a complete barrier. It also helps to minimize vibrations and rattling, making for a more comfortable ride. If this seal fails, you’ll notice if you have leaks – water dripping inside, especially after it rains. You’ll probably hear more wind noise while driving, and it can even affect the climate control system since air will be getting in where it shouldn’t. Over time, a bad seal can also lead to rust forming around the roof panel opening. It acts like a shield, protecting the metal underneath. You can find a replacement pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online usually stock them. It’s a relatively simple fix, but ignoring it can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
