like the title said does anyone try the tail lamp housing sealant tape from the fiero store or i searched and found that many used a product made by 3m ???? i want a good sealant that will keep the humidity and moisture from the inside the light thanks all for your help
thanks for your reply im searching for different option and the best product i hope that i will have some members that try sealing tape from the fiero store or many option to choose the best material to keep water and moisture from it
Use the 1/4" Window Weld ribbon from 3M. Once you apply it and join the lenses, let the lenses sit in the sun for a while to soften the ribbon and make a complete seal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-...ols&vxp=mtr#shpCntId
Edited to provide seller that ships to Canada.

Note that taillights aren't total sealed... They have vents hidden at bottom.
GM use "old style" windshield sealant, like 3M above, to keep out major dirt and water.
If sealant is to thick... let it warm then just pull to thin out a section.

3M butyl tape... it is basically a really sticky caulk that comes in a roll.

theres is a difference between 3M strip caulk and 3M butyl tape or it is the same like the link on top of the page ??????? im very surprise that no one try the fiero store sealing tape . i just want to make sure what type of product from 3M i purchase because im locate in canada and dont want to pay part + shipping + border fee and received and said damn its the wrong 3M products thanks all for your help
The link I posted above is what you need. I don't understand your extreme concern with the Fiero Store tape since they just sell a generic butyl product. No one uses it because they get it cheaper elsewhere. The link I posted is going to save you money on the part plus the shipping. If you want even cheaper, here is a link to the same 3M product in bulk so they don't include the 3M box for $12.95. Now you'll save $12.00 over the Fiero Store. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASI...H4/?tag=butyltape-20
Also the product that jaskispyder posted is the same thing....just pre-cut into small strips.

Before you seal it, (If haven't done this) paint the reflectors bright gloss white or spray chrome. edit-> I've try gloss white today... Don't like it and look a dimmer that OE which used spray chrome. (I have extra w/ crack cover) White make BU whiter w/o bulb on.

Look in spray paint aisle. Is not hard to find at many stores.
Make sure you clean oil/dirt but remember that Many auto chemicals can eat plastic. Use bathroom tub cleaners, 409, etc...
