I am currently working on cleaning up some trim pieces and need some information. The roof line drip rails (73 GTS) has what appears to be some type of caulk/sealant in the inner part that goes against the roof rail to seal it. Does anyoine know what product works best to replace this with? Mine was mostly all dried up, cracking and missing in many areas after the trim was removed from the car. Thanks - Dave ------------- Dave - 1973 GTS N code |

that black messy nasty goop AKA buytl rubber was used a lot  i'd probably go with a urethane seam sealer there may be other things to use too...------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.
