Where to find black 3M Strip Caulk?
I'm looking over the instructions for installing new weatherstripping, and it says to use 3M Strip Caulk in the corners of the t-top opening where the rails meet. I've looked around online, in AutoZone and PepBoys, and at Home Depot, and nobody carries this stuff. Anyone know where to get it?

I Have a whole box of that stuff you should be able to get it at any place that sells automotive paint and supplys.Or go to a body shop and ask them thay should have it.
The strips are 12" long i only used one on my car when i did my seals.

on the t-top it is used in the four outside corners as a fill to keep the water out.. other than that it's not used anywhere else on the t-top.

The book is actually the "T-Top Water Leak Correction For Camaros and Firebirds" It's the official trainning book.. It great for tracking leaks, and how to completely re-seal the whole thing.. I used it when I replaced all my t-top seals (including the ones on the t-tops them selves).
