Jk engine lid seals

Ok riddle me this peeps

My jk engine lid seal turned up listed as 71 to 79 and it dont fit, whats goin on!

Pls find pic of new one attached and comparison with old its about 4 inchs longer!!!!!!






Am i missing something here????

 

You've got an prototype bay seal there.

 

Thats sounds about right

 

Tbh ive rang jk and there gonna swop it over. Cant say fairer than that

 

I has the exact Same issue

 

Well, you could...they could supply the right part in the first place...

 

Lol. When i spoke to jk yesterday they said it was possibly a faulty batch problem is the correct seal is now out of stock at jk, so gonna order one from VWH tonight, jk have said there gonna refund me.

 

How was the rubber from JK? I has a cheap engine lid seal first time, quite hard rubber, and it was impossible to get the lid to shut properly. The softer (more expensive) on from C&C works really well.

 

The softer c&c one I got has cracked up in about 8 months, so not a long life!!

My bus lives indoors most of the time too, so the seal hasn't even had to cope with the elements

 

Didnt really check as soon as it didnt fit i had a tantrum n threw it back in the bag it came in
