Can't tell by looking. Needs to be tested. Just replace it.

What's happenin CF.. First post in 8 months and that's kinda lame.. Hope everyone's been well! My question is whether or not goof off is going to be strong enough for the task, or if there's a better product for my needs.. As you can see the hatch glass got busted out (in if we're being technical) and I need to get the sealant off. I am going to remove as much as possible with a razor and maybe wire wheel but what's the recommended product here? Thanks y'all!
I'll post the link to imgur with the album of why it's in the state it's in.. Suffice to say I made a huge mistake.

pre-cleano possibly, i redid my side trim recently and that stuff was stuck hard to both the trim and the body. cleano won't harm the paint like lacquer thinner will

No, I don't lick fish.
Your description really sounds like a bad/ loose connection.
However, remember that the wiring for XJ lights is to small for the amperage, SO...
There may be a breaker that gets too hot and cuts off. Check the fuse block.
Mine used to do that before I upgraded the switches, (I still need to do the Harness - but it works now)
Also - that breaker can go bad. new ones don't cost too much

It's literally a 5-10 dollar part for a good one... less if you use Rockauto.com or amazon. Absolutely no reason to reuse it.

You're not going to remove that cured urethane, just try to level it as best you can.

Good looks on the gasket issue. I'll use a razor and smooth it out. So the reason my shackle is thru my window is ultimately my fault.. I let a redneck (usually they don't screw this kinda stuff up..) connect the chain from stuck vehicle thru shackle and tied the chain to itself. I'm super gentle on my rig when recovering and after I got the tension set, backed up a bit and rolled into it they separated.. I tried to put a dampener on the chain incase this happened, but I shoulda done it over my line instead.. Well live and learn right? I guess I'm a slow learner cause this happened in one day... https://imgur.com/a/Si8oH And now the repairs begin again... https://imgur.com/a/Qjqy1
