Bob,
We apply quality paint to each surface before assembly. The joint needs to
be a good close tight fit for the blind aluminum rivets to be installed. I
then follow up with a clear silicone caulking applied to the inside surface
joint so no water can creep into the boot area from below. This will be
totally hidden by the boot lining Armacord.
