sammyboy463 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I need to re-install the main tail-gate seal around the rear frame following leak investigations. The seal (which just pushes onto the frame) seems to have been installed at the factory using a cream coloured sealant/mastic that is still soft/sticky. Can anyone advise what this sealant is or suggest a similar alternative product to ensure a watertight fitment of the tail-gate seal.

I would like to know the name of it too as i had my wifes old Punto seal off and wouldve liked to have added fresh stuff when i refitted it.
