I am getting the targa trim pieces ready for reinstall and am wondering what is being used to duplicate this sealant on the backside of a lot of the trim. I was very impressed at how soft and pliable this original sealant was after 48 years or so.
Thanks in advance, John  |

Worked great, and is what the factory used. Similar to this: https://www.findtape.com/3M-08578-Butyl-Rub...BCABEgKHxPD_BwE not promoting the website in any way, just showing the picture. |

Just ordered from Amazon Prime, be at my door tomorrow. I don’t need 60ft of this stuff, but if the original stuff is still soft and pliable after 48 years, maybe my grandkids will use it. Cheers, John |
