    Heres that brown glue that i found holding my taillight lens gasket, to the housing...i took apart a few "side Marker" lights apart too and those also have a brown glue holding the gaskets to the bodys! It's a bad picture ...it looks like rust but it brown glue.......looks like the same stuff they sprayed to hold factory headliner padding in.

    I have seen factory glue on the rear side markers. I don't think I have ever seen it on the rear tail-lights. Maybe an over zealous worker that day!! :D

    I've used that product before, it seems to dry a bit more black than brown.

    Atleast in my experience

    I seen it on some Comet lenses also.
    There are two colors of the 3M that i've seen. Dave posted a yellow one which I have seen turn kinda tanish after awhile. Rarely is a glue color important to me since I don't expect to see it.

    I wasn't meaning the color was important. I was just saying that I'm not positive it's the same glue that I've seen that looked factory.

    I also have seen a yellow and black one, but neither looked like what I've seen.

    In 30+ years anything can happen, there's no reason, maybe some guy at a bodyshop did it? Or some dutch guy? Who knows?????

    I have some of that brown glue. We use it at work on some service parts.
