I have read a lot on this site about the preference for for butyl tape over urethane. My installer says he can and will do anything I want but says that the urethane applied with a caulking gun is superior to butyl tape for safety and leak prevention. He said there will be no problem fitting the chrome trim because it lies flatter than the butyl tape.
What is the problem with using urethane? Thank you, Jack |

Butyl. The PO of my car did urethane and it looks like sh##. The chrome will never come off you can see where the urethane squeezed and went into the lower rubber and the side pillar trim.
