Our Wrangler rubicon was purchased new from a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealership in bullhead city during model year, 2006. Since that time, the Jeep has been taken into the dealership to fix the windshield rubber seal that continues to separate from the windshield and the window frame. First it shrank in the lower left corner. This caused wind noise and excessive drafts. They pushed it back into place. Several months later, the entire gasket separated and fell onto the dash! good vista glass came to our home checked the seal and told us it was defective and the whole rubber gasket would have to be replaced. It was. Now this week, while the Jeep just sat in our driveway, we discovered the entire rubber seal again hanging from the window frame above the dashboard. This makes driving the Jeep to get it repaired dangerous. As I type this, good vista glass again is placing a new gasket into place. I am not completely sure about the integrity of the windshield when this continues to happen but at the very least, there is a danger of this gasket falling into my view and/or lap while driving. My vehicle history is important too. I, like a lot of 4 X 4 owners, do not even take the Jeep off road. I "baby" the vehicle and keep in immaculate condition. Also, all of the folks I have dealt with at swanty's Jeep and good vista glass have been polite and helpful. Now, I was told by the good vista glass technician yesterday, 10/01/06 that this windshield gasket separation is a continuing problem with Jeep. Maybe a recall should be in order? all documentation has been retained. Thank you, john L jenkins fort mohave,
