Windshield Wiper Motor Cover Gasket?

1970 cj5

Is there supposed to be a gasket on the bottom mount windshield wiper motor cover? Mine seems to overlap the windshield ? Doesn’t seem right?

 

Here’s another view....

 

Yes, that looks right, at least my 74 looks that way. I removed it for the first time since new the other day and it looks like it has no gasket just some type putty around it for a seal.

 

no gasket . but I use a very thin bead of RTV on it

 

Jeep used the rope caulk aka butyl caulk lots of places. Seems likely that's what is there. "Mortite" at the big box or hardware store. I'd leave a gap open at the bottom. There is no gasket as such in the parts book.

 

This stuff is great. I used it for this and also to seal up the windshield to roof joint and roof to body joint. Works great and easier to remove than rtv.

 

Thank you all for the info.
