I was thinking of using this stuff on the flappy rear windows hinge to keep water out. I have had this stuff for 40 odd years and it is still pliable but don't know what it is. Can anyone put a name to it. i would like more. Pictures below show what I did with it in a couple of seconds.

Dum-Dum? Wurth and 3M make versions of it still. |

I think you might need some Butyl Mastic Tape. It comes in a roll with a no stick paper back so it can be rolled out and trimmed to suit. Glen |

I bought some only a few years ago from a local automotive paint specialist. I think its generically called dum-dum ..as previously mentioned. Cheers, Ian |

It is called caulking compound, butyl mastic is used around a screen. Use urethane ,the others will dry out in no time in the sun. Allen |

With the help you have given (many thanks) I think dum dum has been withdrawn from the market many moons ago. The only thing that sounds similar is 3m caulk 08578 black. |

The Wurth product is 0890100032 but it is $129.05 I did a lot of searching for a replacement for the grey version used on my Rover mini and Wurth was the closest match (cost me a lot for something I could have probably done some other way) |
