Washing the 2004 Mustang the other day and noticed that the rubber piece that runs all along the bottom of the rear window was coming loose. Anybody know what its called? Anybody know where I can get it? I cannot find it under "Weatherstripping", "Window Seal" etc. Push comes to shove I'll swing by the Ford dealer and have them order it, but if I can find out otherwise....

This piece does not appear to serve any real "weatherproofing" function, but it fills the gap between the window and the rear edge of the trucklid (which without, looks like a huge gap). I pulled it and cleaned it and crimped the metal inside the rubber so it would stay on, but I want to replace it.

Looks fairly simple...like Ford used a small bead of some kind of adehsive and just popped it on.

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

I would imagine that this issue could be resolved with some RTV?

 

Very common issue, both of my 2003 Mustangs have the issue you speak of...as I understand it, it was a supplier problem, the seal was too long and over time it gave way and sorta fell down. I havent looked into it but I think your dealer can supply a revised part for you.
