i think its different stuff. the dripo rails and bed seams is one kind of stuff but the firewall floor panel are going to be a tary type of substance that was originally used.

The caulking in the drip rail is self leveling seam sealer. It's runny compared to caulking so it will lay smooth is will be paintable unlike silicone caulking. The fireway seals are refered to as strip caulk or dum-dum.

Here's some 3M p/n's
Strip Caulk 08578
seam sealer 08300

Is that self leveling stuff a factory deal? I was up checking my drips the other day and noticed some flexible stuff that looks like it's beginning to pull away from the drip rails.

Thanks

the best stuff ive found for the drip rails is a self leveling sealant used to seal the seams on mobile homes works great
