I spent a few hours yesterday morning cleaning and polishing all of the bright trim that goes around the windows that I was hoping to replace. I decided just to clean and polish the moldings and get the car assembled for now. Down the road after I save up some more back pocket money, I can replace any moldings that aren't as nice as I would like them to be if they bother me.
Anyways, the reason for the thread is I cleaned a grey malleable putty out of the roof drip moldings that served as the seal between the roof drip molding and the pinch weld at the roof rail, It appears to just be a sealer putty, actually it looks a lot like plumber's putty. I wanted to know what people have used when reinstalling the roof drip molding to seal them against the body. My first thought was 3M strip caulk, which I am pretty sure would work well in this situation. I was wondering if there is a better product to use when I reinstall the roof drip moldings. Has anyone used strip caulk, and if so how did it work for you? Has anyone used a different product? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
