Rear Window Seal Replacement Adventure!
I finally decided that I was tired of water drips in my trunk every time it rained and decided to tackle replacement of my rear window seal this weekend. I'd had the seal lying around for a few months, and my Dad agreed to help me with it this weekend, so I hit it.
I definately had some serious rust damage in there, though I don't think it was as bad as PawoSD's experience. I used his Patented Pawo Method ![]() ![]() So, enough of my blab, now for the onslaught of pictures!

I am figuring that it took you most of the weekend? Also, did you do this because of the cost to get it done? Nice work

And finally, the window in the car!
After I got the window in, I took a tube of 3M Windo-Weld Urethane Adhesive sealant and ran all the way around the seal under the lip. I was told by a friend who is a glass guy that "you'll need a saw to break through that seal!" So therefore, I shall hope to be rid of my water leaks! I'll test with a hose later, but since I've got the interior of the car officially filthy, I'm going to do some other work inside first........

I'm curious about the 'new metal'- would you explain that fully - where you got it, cut it, bent it, etc., etc.
