I'm putting the metal trim on my car (A and B pillars). I noticed it has some sort of black caulk on it. What is this and do I need to scrape it off and re-do it? Can I just install the trim without it?
Here's a picture of the A pillar on the driver's side.  |

Since the metal trim pieces are all screwed to the body there is no need for an adhesive, just something to seal the trim to the body.

QUOTE(jcd914 @ Feb 12 2019, 12:32 AM)  Since the metal trim pieces are all screwed to the body there is no need for an adhesive, just something to seal the trim to the body. Jim Weatherstrip adhesive forms a seal that sets up tacky and the parts can be fairly easily peeled apart later. It seem pretty similar to the original stuff used in that application to me, but so does butyl caulk so I think either would work well. |
