What exactly is the black tar that seals the tails?

The painter might even donate to the cause.

^Nope. Seam sealer sets. Its similar to silicone caulk, but its paintable.

This just goes to show how little I truly know about body stuff. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I know less. I can take it apart and put it back together but can't fix ANYTHING metal, FG, CF, paint.

I don't want to use silicon because I want to be able to take it apart later if need be without destroying things.

spooling has the right part posted. I used the same stuff to seal up my rear quarter window the other year (no leaks). It was readily available at a car parts store. If you don't see it at the store, just ask the guy at the counter.

 

3M window weld is an equivalent to what they used on those tail lights

3M Strip-Calk Part No. 051135-08578 its nasty stuff, won't come off your clothes if you get it on so be careful.

I call it black, sticky, nastiness. This is what they used to use to stick front and rear windshields on to the chassis with. There's a stickier, nastier version that sticks the plastic sheet under your door panels to the door. You can get it in various diameters. Paint thinner and kerosene cleans it pretty good.
...Oh shoot, somebody already posted a link to the stuff
