This AM when I started my Jeep I noticed the driver's side rear window was half way down. Tried to roll it up and heard a sound (from the window motor I guess) but no movement. The window can be easily moved up or down by hand so it appears to be no longer attached to the mechanism that operates...

Parts stores are having a hard time telling me what gasket or seal I need for the two connections (left and right of manifold) of the cat at the manifold. My direct fit cat would appear to require a round "donut" style seal, but they tell me there is also a 3-hole gasket for some applications...
