silver T-Top caulk

[Don W.]

What's the best match for the silver colored caulk that goes in front groove on the roof on a t-top car? Also, what goes in the rear groove along the rear edge of roof that runs all the way accross the the rear roof area?

Re: silver T-Top caulk

Hi Don,
I found some 'fabric paint' that comes in a small 'squirt bottle' with a fine nozzle for the tip, at my national chain crafts store. It comes in MANY different colors, and I found a silver/gray that matches the remains of the silver sealer on my 71 coupe. It starts out like very thick paint and sets very hard with a bit of flex.
On the halo I found the black sealer that seems to be very similar to 3M strip caulk. The edge that showed seemed to have turned gray, but when I lifted the SS trim what was under it was black
I'm open to other suggestions.
Here's the best pictures I have, the shiny SS really screws up the close-up aperture. The driver's side is with-out and the passenger's side is with the silver/gray sealer.
Regards,
Alan
