To buy auto glass rubber sealant - 2001 Jeep Wrangler

Replacing the tailgate back glass on a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer involves several steps and requires some tools and caution. Please note that working with glass can be dangerous, so if you're not comfortable with these procedures, it's recommended to seek professional help. Here's a general outline of the process:
**Tools and Materials Needed:**
- Replacement back glass
- Gloves and safety goggles
- Screwdrivers (various types)
- Trim removal tools
- Torx or socket wrench set
- Putty knife or scraper
- Adhesive remover
- Sealant or urethane adhesive
- Painter's tape
**Steps:**
1. **Safety Precautions:**
- Wear gloves and safety goggles to protect yourself from broken glass and debris.
- Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling any fumes from adhesives or sealants.
2. **Prepare the Area:**
- Clean the area around the back glass to ensure proper adhesion of the new glass.
3. **Remove Interior Panels:**
- Open the tailgate and remove the interior trim panels carefully. This might involve removing screws, clips, and other fasteners. Use trim removal tools to avoid damaging the panels.
- Carefully disconnect any electrical connectors for defroster or other features connected to the glass.
4. **Remove Old Glass:**
- Using a putty knife or scraper, gently remove any rubber gasket or adhesive around the old glass.
- Have a helper support the glass from the outside while you work from the inside to prevent it from falling.
5. **Clean and Prepare the Area:**
- Remove any remaining adhesive from the window frame using adhesive remover or a suitable solvent. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris.
6. **Install New Glass:**
- Apply a bead of sealant or urethane adhesive around the perimeter of the window frame.
- Carefully position the new glass in place. Make sure it's aligned properly.
- Have a helper support the glass while you work from the inside.
- Press the glass firmly against the adhesive to create a secure bond.
7. **Reassemble Interior Panels:**
- Reconnect any electrical connectors for defroster or other features.
- Reinstall the interior trim panels and secure them with screws, clips, and fasteners.
8. **Allow Adhesive to Cure:**
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the adhesive's curing time. This typically takes a few hours to a day.
9. **Test the Glass:**
- Check the functionality of any electrical features, like the defroster.
10. **Clean Up:**
- Clean any excess adhesive that might have squeezed out during installation.
Always refer to the specific instructions provided by the glass manufacturer and consider consulting a professional if you're unsure about any step of the process. Remember that working with glass requires precision and care to ensure a safe and successful replacement.

It depends what sort of stop leak you're talking about. There's different types.

Something for a leaking windshield rubber works by filling a gap and then becomes hard, similar to how bathroom sealant works.

An oil stop-leak works by penetrating and 'refurbishing' -swelling- dried gaskets and then hardening when it contacts the air on the outside of the engine block.

Some types of coolant sealant work by allowing particles to congregate/collect around a small hole in a radiator, blocking the hole. The particles harden due to the air/heat to form a plug. This type of sealant can also block your heater matrix, and they do not repair rubber hoses (hoses must be replaced if leaking).

A cylinder head sealant works by either depositing particles in a small crack in the head or gasket, or in the case of a modern head sealant, it uses polymers.

If you have a slight oil leak - slight - on an engine or auto box, try a sealant. If it's anything more than a slight weep, then gasket/seal replacement is the best option.

The rubber seal can adhere to the window glass and make them hard to open and close. Use something like armor all on the rubber seal to make it slippery and see if that helps.

mostly there is little that can be done as the plastic surround gets hard and loosens off the glass. One fix is to use clear silastic sealant in very small quantities to bond the glass back in the plastic. If you do it neatly there will be no noticeable sealant on the glass and it will be firm once the sealant has set

A cheaper solution might be to obtain black sealant and fill all missing pieces and gaps. Available from most auto part stores. apply sealant liberally and trim excess with razor knife/exacto knife, or flat razor scraper. Petroleum-based sealants may be cleaned away from glass or paint with kerosene or gasoline.

The windshield can only be repaired with the sealant
used by an auto glass shop

There is only one procedure for glass replacement &
you can't do it & anything you attempt to add to any place
on the glass will not work

Wait on the glass people to resolve

Do you have a sunroof? It may be leaking :)

lift rubber edges and apply clear silicon sealant under edges let cure hose with water to test, if leak then seal edges of glass with eurothane sealant, not silicon will rot in sun within year

yes

I'd stop at an auto glass place & ask them.
