In case anyone else has a trashed seal. These seem to have a small lifespan.

There aren't any instructions, but installation is easy. Almost no adhesive is required. The kit includes both the inner and outer seal as an assembly, and each mount on a vertical metal flange. The only adhesive required is a small dab on the end corners. The new unit has small felt strips on the corners that aren't on the original 2018, probably to prevent snags.

Each end has three fasteners. The top fastener is a reusable plastic that can be removed with a panel tool. The bottom two fasteners are black metal rivets, if you want to repro that. I used small black cable ties.

Thanks for the info. Did the seal kit come with new rivets and hardware or would those need to be ordered separately?

Also, I know on the JK the seal has a glue strip on the front where it butted to the windshield frame. Is this also the case with the JL?
