[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 5985381, member: 6221"] +1 ... my exact thoughts Regular foam tape like used for campers/caps retains water... spray some water on it and then give it a squeeze if you don't believe me. Also Ford used the plain foam tape around the gas filler pocket and I see lots of fox body's rusted in this area due to the water retention. The tape that Ford originally used on the qtr. windows is a foam tape thats covered in the black butyl so that it is pliable yet does not soak in the water. As far as not using any type of sealant on the windows is a bad idea even if its good weather only. You will eventually have to wash the car at some point. When you do, water will leak around the qtr. window. [/QUOTE]
