Interesting question
awhile back, somebody kicked in my door panel. I left my jeep at an autobody shop this past week to have the door panel replace and repainted and such. I went to pick it up today and found the waterdam sitting in the trunk area. I asked about it, and the body shop guys tried to convince me that it was soundproofing and that I should bring the jeep back next week and they'll put it back on or make sure that the replacement door panel came with one.
The fsm pretty clearly calls it a waterdam and even says "make sure not to damage or contaminate it when removing or installing it or it will need to be replaced. It seems to have holes in it that were cut with a box knife (probably to remove it)
So what should I do? I'm thinking I should print out that page from the FSM and bring it to the body shop - but should I go to a dealership to have the waterdam installed, since the body shop doesn't even know what it is??
