Hello Blackjack, thanks for the reply, one more question after you install the new weahter stripping how long do you wait before you close the hatch.

Blackjack the glue that you used was that the 3M (yellow) one. I think that I will practice on something else before I start or may be I will take it to a trim shop, patience is not one of my strong points either.

The 3M yellow does't "cure" tac free. It has kind of a forever re-work the weather strip type of cure. You can move it around for at least an hour. Look in the foward corner of the weather strip on your hatch opening, at the end of the weather strip and you may see that is what is used to glue the strip in place. The yellow cures to a degree in the absence of air but it never really dries like a glue that dries hard. The yellow stuff even dries less hard than the black stuff 3M makes, and that stuff isn't really dry when it's cured.

I just thought of this, on my car I can see the stuff that is used on the hatch weather srtip and it is the yellow type. I should not assume that it is factory spec, though.

But it works!

I was speaking with one of our upper end body shops last night and the fellow told me to bring the car in and he would install the new weahter stripping for $200.00. Apperently getting the old one off and cleaning the surface like new is quite a job and he guarantees a good job, I figure it's worth it, we will see
