Careful with the 5200, very difficult to cut loose in the future.
Life Seal can be cut with a knife blade, but it will not pull loose between the two surfaces.It has polyurethane in it. Unlike hardware silicone. |

A little heat gun use & 5200 peels off great!!  YMMV |

Thanks for your response. Do you know if there a gasket for the outside of that hatch? I will remove it and reseal as soon as I have the right supplies. |
3M 5200 on the hatch or any thing else that needs to be watertight run a hose on the hatch on a day like today & see if its dripping. |
I had a car once that had a leak in the windshield seal once. It would leak up under the dash, run down, and get the passenger side carpeting wet if it rained, but not if you put a hose on it. The repair shop tried putting a hose on it in various ways to find the leak, but to no avail. The repair shop said that rain water and hose water behaves differently. Eventually got the thing fixed by taking it to the shop when it was raining.
Also, getting 3M 5200 off fiberglass is a PITA, but not terribly difficult. A heat gun, the proper glue remover, a plastic scraper, and a bit of elbow grease is all it takes. |
