That doesn't look too awful Sean, but I'm serious about checking the seatbelt attach points. Easy way to check is to take a wrench to the mounting bolt and crack it loose, if you don't hear any crunching it should be okay. It's definitely worth checking though.
I was totally shocked....more like pissed, when I went to change out my carpet. But I guess it's better to find out that the seatbelts were rusted out that way, than to find out when I actually needed them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |

That rust on your firewall is from the hell hole problem you've found not your rear window.
That black tape "is" stock as a few have mentioned here. It's not an attempt to fix a leak. It actually masks the view of the back side of your back pad from the outside. Factory is about 1" electrical tape. Good luck trying to find it in that width. I once went to a 3M supplier outside of Philly and they would cut you a roll in virtually any size you want. Old butyl tape should simply fall out if it's that hard. Try a 1" putty knife or a fat screwdriver. Both of the ones I did had the butyl literally fall out. You asked what held it in: The butyl tape seals it but the actual "interior pieces" of the car hold in the window. The roll bar padding on the top and sides. On the bottom it should sit on a couple rubber pads. Here's a thread I started on the subject that should take you through it step by step: Click Here Good luck. |

Easy way to check is to take a wrench to the mounting bolt and crack it loose, if you don't hear any crunching it should be okay. It's definitely worth checking though. Forgot to mention that that I pulled the seat belt bolt on the pass side and then pulled the carpet back a bit there. Everything looked fine, nice and solid. Still have to do the drivers side but so far it looks good there as well. Thanks for the tip everyone. |
