Kuga Tailgate Seal

[sammyboy463]

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. 

Cheers

Ive done some with clear silicon seal seems to work ok

Cheers Dezwez, That's what I may use but was trying to find out if anyone knew what Ford used on assembly.

I think its nothing more than spray white grease

Its not grease, its more like a thin non setting sticky putty. 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.
