Rear hatch glass to Panel seal..?
Just removed my rear hatch as part of my repaint and plan to separate the glass from the rear panel due to a small leak. What do I use and where can I get the stuff or the seal that goes in there?
Thanks!
Thanks!

b. Front sealing strip (part number 20328200 or equivalent, Fig. 6, item 1).
c. Butyl adhesive strip (5/16" square, 3M part number 08631 or equivalent) next to sealing strip (Fig. 6, item 2). Seal holes in panel where glass molding screws were installed using above butyl.
d. Apply black primer (from kit) to panel (Fig.9). Allow to air dry for five minutes.
e. Apply urethane (part number 9636067 or equivalent) to area of panel primed in above step. Smooth urethane with a flat-bladed tool. If new panel is to be installed, also apply to forward outer drain holes (Fig. 6, item 4).
4. Install panel to glass.

SHEESH!
Good luck taking the panel and glass apart!
I can't wait for the SILENCE from forum members when you DUH-scover
what a job it is and the issues when you TRY and put it back together and
are asking for reassembly advise!

Mark everything so you install in same position.
Used piano wire or razor wire. You thread it through, wrap each end around a stick or peg to grip in your hand. Then slowly work back and forth. Also use weatherstripping solvent as a lubricant.
As always, patience is the key.

Took the windshield out today. What a nightmare. That adhesive is tough stuff. I hope the hatch adhesive isn't that tough...
