It worked for me.

That black stuff is 3M Windo-Weld Ribbon Sealer Auto Glass Replacement Kit, Part No. 08612, Round Bead 3/8” x 15’. According to the video it cost $30 from Advance Auto.

QUESTION: Could the tail light assembly be removed if necessary with all that Windo-Weld in place all around the edge of the assembly (similar to what is seen in the video)?

I am wondering the same thing if silicone rubber cement were used instead of the Windo-Weld. It might be hard to remove the tail light assembly if necessary, because you can't necessarily get to the "gasket" that you've made with a knife to start to free up the seal.

Anybody have any opinions about this?

Thanks,

R.
