Camper Shell to Cab Seal

[reson46]

For those with camper shells, how is the front of the shell sealed to the cab? My rear window does have a lip that looks like some shells may use.

 

I know my current shell isn't made specifically for an MJ. According to the previous owner the shell came from a Ranger. But, I think shells are made more to a common size than specifically for most vehicles.

 

Maybe some type of flexible boot like a semi sleeper?

 

These are the best pictures I have handy. The shell fits really well and there isn't much of a gap between it and the cab.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Willy

I saw one instance where a fella used common garden hose, rubber, and squeezed it in between the cab and cover. Painted it to match. Looked and worked good. I had a '70 J10 I used a rubber strip from the bottom of a garage door. Worked for 7 years, til I sold the Jeep.

I have seen only one that sealed to the cab. Most have their own front window and there is no seal to the cab.

Any shop that sells camper shells should have a boot gasket for the shell, very similar to the rubber strip from the bottom of a garage door as jimoshel mentioned. The problem with them is they rub against the back of the cab and eventually abrade through the paint. I prefer the type with their own window as Eagle described.

I had one on my truck for about 15 years and the seal started to dryrot and leak into my rear window, so I removed the whole cap
