Any electrical wholesale, will sell it. It varies in quality depending on brand. I chug through a few cartons of 24 mm linerless every year 3m brand which is not cheap but good, there is a few other options half the price which are ok

And retailers wonder why people buy online, easy to find vs needle in a hay stack, reasonable pricing vs daylight robbery. Cheers for the suggestions, will continue with phone calls and back and forth emails as I would prefer it soon rather than having to wait

Having a mate that worked for the old P&T was always the best way back in the day. Top quality stuff it was too.

Also used for taping joints/connections in electric fencing, most Farm Merchandise store would have it too.
try wurth also but will be expensive or even RA Johnsons

That looks like someones previous attempt to cover up rust.

butyl tape used for electrical sealing will never do anything on that job you pic'd
until you tension it and lay it over itself it is useless, and you will never be able to do that with it on that job
I suggest you use a black silicon sealer and read the instructions on when you can begin shaping it - and more importantly how you can shape it
it maybe you need to trowel it on and give it 4 days to cure then trim back with an incredibly sharp blade ie flat razor or scalpel

They dont know what it is ,when you ask, cant remember the brand ,sorry but look around the roofing area. its the same stuff used in the rubber roofing business, yes, adhesive on one side and most of those staff wouldnt even know what it is
Just had a look on m 10 website,, go there and type in " rubber ", shows the stuff i think you want

That is what I thought originally but can confirm it was fitted from factory. I have been told it is butyl rubber adhesive. It seems like it is. It is not silicone and is certainly adhesive to the car body aswell as itself. It looks as though some butyl tapes are not adhesive and only self amalgamating

fairly sure what you have is the original window seal, it was applied to the body, then the window pressed against it, then an electrical current passed through it to soften it and the window pressed even further into it
yes it was a form of butyl
very few butyl tapes are not self amalgamating - with a light adhesive on one side and a removeable cover on the other - and as above they require tension and pressure to work properly - and will not do what you want
check with smith and smith, ask what they would use, or any of the other automotive glass companies
