Birdcage rebuild
I need to R&R a couple pieces of my birdcage. I have the replacement pieces from Paragon. I will remove the spot welds and reweld these pieces in. I see that the original pieces were spot welded and an adhesive was used. The best I can tell from my AIM is that it is adhesive 151 part number 9981098. Can someone point me in the right direction for a replacement for this adhesive? Not sure if it is there for an adhesive or a sealant or both. It is between the pieces that make up the birdcage.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi 73,
From the 'super' parts person.... Joe L.
It's a PRODUCTION-only item which wasn't available in SERVICE under that part number.
The GM #9981098, also known as "neoprene solvent cement", was a yellowish adhesive. It can be closely duplicated by using 3M Super Weatherstrip Cement, available at most auto supply stores.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan. I saw this same reference. Looking at the 3M super weatherstrip cement it seems to be to attach weatherstripping. The substance I am after goes between the pieces of metal that weld together to make up the birdcage. Specifically the upper corners under the window. Seems like maybe I am incorrect with the part number.
I was looking at 3M 38315 panel adhesive as the possible solution.
thoughts?
