1969 windshield stainless trim sealant

[Jeff D.]

The NCRS manual says the windshield trim on my 69 convertible should have a silver sealant around it. What should I use to reproduce this? Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff,
People report using various materials.
I had a good experience using something from the local chain "crafts store".
Since they don't realize it's for a Corvette it's only a couple of dollars.
It can be applied in a tiny bead, (it can be smoothed and flattened with a finger tip if needed), and sets up hard but flexible in about 24 hours.
Regards,
Alan

I did the same thing as Alan, but the new recommendation is to use a product called Mortite. Apparently it is gray already, and works very well.

Hi,
After reading about Moretite I bought some to try.
It seems to be a good color, but even after a few months it's still soft. Because of this, any 'dirt' that it come in contact with becomes imbedded in it.
The original material used on the 'seam' my windshield ss trim certainly has a hard surface. (I don't think it's hard just because it's 40+ years old)
I think the Moretite is more appropriate to use to replace the gray material in this picture. (Underside of coupe windshield header ss trim).
