Subject:      Sealant on poptop bolts?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all,

I'm busy putting all the parts back on my van and I'm focusing on
getting it sealed up before any rains come. When they took the poptop
off to paint it, the bolts that go through the top and into the hinge
used to lift it were taken out. They appear to have had some kind of
white gunk on them to seal them and prevent leakage. Any ideas what
that might be or what I should use in its place? After the recent
conversations about silicone, I'm hesitant to use silicone caulk on
it.

Thanks!
Marc Perdue
