Yes that butyl can be messy LOL, but it cleans up nicely with lacquer thinner.

So anybody have any idea were this goes?

Well here is the only rust issue around the back window, big relief!

Looks like there is two different pads under the vinyl, the center section is denser with the C pillars having a lighter "fluffier" material.

Removing the rear window.

Had a little two hour setback today  when the 1/4' socket I was using to remove the trim nuts above the wheel well decided to fall down between the outer fender and inner wheel tub. Had to remove the antennae and the fuel filler pipe, which led to dropping the tank. Then I had to shove a wooden wedge to have enough room to stick a magnet and remove said socket.

Also came across this sight after removing the trunk carpet;

Anybody repair this area before? And if so what was the method?

Total mouse body's so far 3

Ya ice storms suck! And I think I'm a founding member LOL, should write a book.

Today consisted of repairing the rear window defrost connections, since it was working this strip most likely came apart during the removal process;

Also removed the front seats and vacuumed the carpet, pretty good shape!

The worst part of the front seats, seam coming apart on drivers seat.
