Just cleaning the old sealant off the rear quarter glass... 

What was the purpose of the tape. Almost a fabric like tape, in the upper edge of the rear quarter panel glass.

Can’t make heads of tails of that picture. Sorry. Looks like a 928 Rorschach test.

How certain are you that the 1/4 glass was never out before you took it out. Body shops do weird shit...

Yeah. Every time I’ve found anything other than gasket and glass I could trace it to somebody trying to not buy a new seal: e.g. body shop.

Door seals are the one that chap my ass. I've had to replace so many of them that some dipshit thought it was a good idea to smother glue to hold them in place. I'm at the point that I will inspect a car before I work on it and decide beforehand if I want to put my hands on it.
