Using Tape Type Sealers In Door Jambs and Compartment Gutters
Some passenger cars and trucks use a tape type sealer for body sealing in rear compartment gutters and door jamb areas. This sealer is very uniform in shape and thickness and provides excellent sealing characteristics.
A new sealing material is available that provides the look of the production sealing material. This new material is an adhesive backed urethane foam that comes in rolls (7/8" x 33 ft) for jambs and gutters and sheets (6" x 9") for irregular shapes. It is black in color, has excellent adhesion to primed surfaces and is paintable. This material is appropriate for use on vehicles involved in collisions to simulate the appearance of production applied sealers.
