| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 jeep wrangler. Two weeks after purchasing the jeep i noticed air coming in through the rear window. While driving the back window on the hardtop will pop open, enough to let air, water, and other debris into the vehicle. The window will open until it touches the spare tire, therefore prohibiting the use of the rear windshield wiper. My concern is exhaust entering the rear of the vehicle and harming occupants. I have take it to the dealer numerous time throughout this past year (to encounter rude and unknowledgeable service men) only for them to tell me they do not know how to fix it and it cant be fixed. This past week the said they fixed it, however the problem still occurs.*ak |
