[s-cars] S6 Plus Taillights GP

[Harold McComas]

Tom, I bought a center section with the last groupbuy and I also ended up 
getting the factory stuff to seal the lights.

The cross secton on the factory stuff is oval and most aftermarket  window 
sealing cord / glazing tape( butyl rubber) is circular. I had tried 
resealing my stock taillights with 1/4" 3M window sealer but the diameter 
was too small, doubling it up made it too thick.

One roll  of the factory stuff is enough to do a center S6+ section and have 
about  3 feet of it left over.
If you get more than three people that want the factory stuff , you could 
send one my way. I have one roll of gasket left, I am in NH.
