ghostismyname Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Alright so i have a Explorer, it has a back hatch with a seperate pane of glass that open and latches in the bottom middle of the pane. Im looking to seal this shut permanetly, but i also want to get my windows tinted and am worried that after i get them tinted and then seal the back window the tint will come off because of the sealant and the flexing from my system( right now that pane of glass flexs a good 2 inchs at the bottom and about 1 inch at the top where the hinges are) So basically i want to know what type of sealant to use and if my tint will come off.

01ExSport Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well eff, there goes my recent idea. You could give it a shot though, I was just going to lay down weatherstripping or closed cell foam on where the glass touches the actual hatch.

Yea not enough metal to weld. My original thoughts where a type of silicone, or like you said a packing or weather stripping, but the weather stripping would have to be very thick and dense to hold up and make a seal. I just have no idea what would be best to use..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostismyname Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Still no other advice? How do most of you guys reduce the rear window flex on suv's with back hatch windows? I dont have any deadner yet installed but i dont see how it would help much with my issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01ExSport Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 you could possibly try the rope caulk some people use between subs/box. Not sure if it would be think enough, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
