Rear Window rattling Pics

[TheBrandon]

I have a rattle\depressurized sound that comes from my Rubicon. It’s a 2019 2 door hardtop. Tracked this annoyance down to the rear window. Others used some silicon however the measurements are so far off from each lip of my hardtop it looks like my hard top is defective. Part of me thinks its possible the larger lip is an extremely cleaver way to help someone get the hardtop off that is new to the JL and wasn’t present on the JK lol. Can anyone take a second to either measure or just confirm they are different sizes? Top has never come off.

This might be worth a try, loosen your hold down bolts on the body and sound bar hold downs and push the top forward, there is always a little wiggle room.. then tighten back down.

There is a lot of separation here lol. Nothing like that on my JK. Is yours similar on both sides of the lip? This weekend I'll pull the tops and loosen the rear and see if it moves forward. On my JK the rear top just sets in solid. Virtually no wiggle room and nothing like this.

I have a soft top.. But, I my previous JK's they had a little wiggle space.. just thought it might be worth a try

Thanks! I wish I had a picture but it sounds like you're thinking its the piece that attaches to the body of the Jeep? I'll check it out tonight. I've never looked.

Any chance someone with a hard top measure just that back area please?

@JeepCares dealer suggest it's normal and the tire causing this. It's not. Anyone riding in the back can see it and hear it. Thoughts? Should this be that far off with the measurements? Lubricating the seals on rear windows dulls the sound significantly but should I be having to do that frequently?
