Rear window weather strip removal
There seems to be debate of using sealant or just installing dry. I have removed several front and rear windshields from early A bodies 63-66 and all of them have a foam tape and a bit of the black goop ( sometimes the goop is grey ). The foam tape is on the pinch weld and the black goop is inside and outside the rubber. I dont know if its entirely necessary to have it there but it makes sense to me. Dont know where to purchase it either. Just sharing.
Thats a good point! I wasnt worried about making a mess because the car is mostly disassembled. I used the wd40 can with the smart straw. Peel the gasket away a bit and squirt. Move a little bit to the side and repeat. All the way around the glass. Inside and out. Didnt really get any on the headliner but it did get all over the package tray area and in the trunk, so that would be a bad thing to get wd40 all over areas that are gonna get painted or need to stay clean.
