  Weatherstrip

• Description:

  This genuine Ford weatherstrip is the rubber seal that runs around the liftgate opening on the luggage compartment door, sealing the gap between the rear hatch and the body when the liftgate is closed, and it fits the 2003-2006 Ford Expedition. The seal compresses against the body flange to keep wind noise, dust, and water out of the cargo area, and it also helps dampen the sound of the liftgate closing by cushioning contact between the door and the body opening. Owners typically look for this weatherstrip after noticing a whistling or howling noise at highway speed coming from the rear of the vehicle, after finding water intrusion or dampness in the cargo area following rain or a car wash, or after visually spotting cracking, dry rot, flattening, or tearing along the rubber bead where it meets the body. A compressed or torn seal loses its ability to spring back and hold a tight compression fit, which lets air and moisture past even when the liftgate latch and hinges are functioning correctly, so replacing the door hardware alone will not fix a leak caused by a worn seal. This weatherstrip is a bonded, one-piece design that follows the factory profile and attachment channel around the liftgate opening, so it seats into the original mounting groove without trimming or additional adapters. Clean the mounting channel of old adhesive, dirt, and rubber debris before installing the new seal so it seats fully and forms a consistent compression line all the way around the opening. Confirm liftgate glass and latch alignment are within factory spec at the same time, since a misaligned hatch can prematurely compress or tear even a new seal.
