I don't think this guy, or whoever made this kit, knows what they are talking about.

"The paint was applied to cover the glue line imperfections."

This one line sets it off for me. The paint was applied to give the glue something to stick to.
Glue will not stick to glass for very long unless you give it something to bond to. This special paint was designed to do that very thing.

You would be better off going to a glass shop and getting a product called "Glass Bond" It only comes in clear and requires a UV light to cure and bond to the glass. Then use a butyl ( I know I spelled that wrong) tape type caulking.

I thought of trying this, although I have no need. My hatch is in great shape.

So all of this is just my theory.
