Hi List:
The stuff you want is called Drip Check. It is OEM on most American cars
and is used for the purposes described. It is also used to seal body seams
on the painted side of the car as well as it is paintable and dries hard
but not rigid. Any body shop supply will have it in stock. It comes in a
flexible tube like a large toothpaste tube.
