side windows (behind door)

como · 09-09-2009, 11:33 PM

So if any of you have been following, I went ahead and took my entire mk1 apart to paint it.

What I may not have mentioned, is that I've never so much as done an oilchange before... so I'm kinda making this up as I go.

I'll be needing to re-install those little triangle windows soon. What do I use to put them in? It was thick goopy stuff, reminded me of roofing tar. Where can I get it, and what's it called?

I would assume it is the same stuff that you would use to seal the oil pan. the dealership peeps usually call it Toyota sealant. I could be totally wrong on that one. I would assume it is something similar though.

My friend called it "Elephant snot", and someone else called it some sort of a silicone sealant. Thick, black disgusting stuff. I'll have to ask at napa when I'm there.
