This outer weatherbelt has begun to dry rot, and is already leaking water into the unpainted interior of the tailgate. The dirt it brings with it will cause the bottom of the tailgate to rust out from the inside. If the inner one gets this bad, it will scratch the heating element which could cause a hot spot that would shatter the glass.
