I have to redo my rear window. The seal at the bottom broke so I have to redo it.
Everything is apart and cleaned. The 3m tape i used 2 years ago, came off very easy. I figured it would of set better than it did. Window popped out np, and tape was very gooey. Are there alternatives to that 1/4" butyl tape? Or should I go with that again? Maybe have an autoglass place do it??? Any thoughts??? Thanks |

Personally I have used a product from GOOP it is an Automotive sealer, comes in a tube, and by following the instructions you can reseal your rear window without having to remove the existing butyl tape.
I first remove the interior pieces and then remove the rear window. Clean the surface on your car and the surface on the rear window that are to mated together. A razor blade and lacquer thinner for the glass and car are good. Do not use to much. Let dry. One thing I have found to be very helpful in holding the glass in place are adjustable dusters. They are adjustable , you set one end against the glass and the other on the front dash area. I included a pic. You leave these in place for 24 hours and the glass is in place to stay. Then just reinstall the interior and you are on your way. CCLINGLASSHOUSETOWN Attached image(s) ![]() |
