[s-cars] Center Taillight sealant

[Harold McComas]

Tom, I went to the basement to find what I used. It was 3M window-weld 
ribbon sealer, part # 08610, 1/4" X 15', round bead. Like I said the 
diameter was too small go I would go with 08611or 08612 (BTW, the 08621 is 
the bulk pack version with 24 rolls per case).
