I am reinstalling my back window after a re-paint. With the butyl kit came instructions from Dr. 914 which talks about having the engine lid removed to do the job. It also mentions reinstalling the engine lid seal before putting the engine lid back on.

I really don't want to remove the engine lid risking marring the new paint in my clumsyness. Can I install the window and rear engine seal with the lid in place and in what order?---glass then engine lid seal or visa versa?
Thanks

where it makes contact with the butyl


Does temperature become a issue with this. I too am about to install the rear window and its cold here. How warm should it be to install.
