has that already been replaced or did you try sealing over the crack?

I would contact Year One or someone that sells new gasket kits and put a new one on. Prep the area really well, and then re-install the new seal.

I was watching a show about storing cars for extended periods and the guy said to leave open all of the areas that have rubber seals so that they can return to their original shapes. So that's what I do during the winter. I disconnect the battery and then leave the doors partially open, as well as the the rear hatch. I take out the t-tops as well.

Windex, razorblade, and some waterproof epoxy(clear) glue it back on and fill in the crack! Simple fix!
