Whitey....I was reading on this after 71 posted what he got. It says and the critics say it works better on the rear glass slider installs. I personally like the moving butyl so if the cab tweeks, it moves with it. It just me probably.

Here is a link on that sealer. http://www.marcyadhesives.com/autogl...ts/butyl-tapes

White89gt,

Yeah, I use 3M stuff every day. For them to put their name on it, it's got to be some good stuff.
