Rattly tailgate

Post by Eltoon » Fri Jun 17, 2016 4:46 pm

Hiya
Any way to stop the rear tailgate rattling and shaking on me SJ? Can't be good for the hinges! What can I fix or replace to prevent this?

Has it not got a rubber door seal on?

Not on the actual door. There's a moth eaten rubbery thing around the frame, half on the car and half on the hard top.

Replace the seal with a nice new rubber like above
