The REPLACEMENT rear window (See post #3259 for the story) came yesterday and went in today. My brand new tube of 3M 08609 urethane sealant was no good - cured. Went to Autozone and paid my $32+ to replace that as well. Oh yeah, and Uncle Remus was right about the tar baby! Can't tell you how many times I had to clean up.

So, I slathered the non-curing sealant onto the flange and put the gasket on just before I remembered that I hadn't shot any black paint around the inside surround. That meant the day finished off with extra masking of the window and a little painting. (Thus the masking paper on the inside of the glass.)

Overall it went well and looks reasonably great.
