Rivet Nut Threaded Inserts | Würth Knowing Episode 23

As a vehicle with no Jeep experience but this repair needed just a little more. Sealant, 3M makes a non-hardening glassing sealant that fits a caulking gun, but, butyl tape, thin bead of black RTV or just some double side tape. I know you don’t get a lot of rain plus Jeep never put anything on it (Unless stuck to bottom of rail we couldn’t see) but it is just me. To reduce or eliminate the chance of water dripping inside past the rail or riv-nuts, I would have put something down. Question; How did you get away for 30 years of putting that off the “Honey Do” list? I need that secrete. If the washing machine doesn’t spin out completely and drain all of the water (small plug of lint type fabric) I would hear about this in 3 minutes, the five times a day until fixed! Do you hide?

I did add some sealant latter to prevent noise from air leaks. I think my wife has always enjoyed the rowdiness of driving her Jeep. Even though she occasionally complained and wanted me to fix the top, she also used this issue to tell her friends just how tough she could be. Now, getting the dryer to stop squeaking has become a real issue. That’s my next project. - Randy
