For trimming off the butyl tape, I use a sharpened hard PLASTIC scraper about 1" wide. Cut down the seal side then carefully scrape down the edge to remove the excess tape. Once complete and clean, run a thin bead of white Lexel caulk for a finished appearance. The squished out tape shows a good seal.
The first photo appears to show a crack below the window seal. Suggest you stop drill the crack soon and seal with the Lexel caulk. To stop drill, I use a 1/8" drill bit at the very end of the crack. This prevents the crack from running. Good job!
