Earlier in the year I asked a question about applying sealant before I installed my top bows on a 26 coupe, Bob Booth answered and recommended a sealant made by Locktite but, I can't remember what it was and can't find the old message. If anyone would know wha to use let me know I'd appreciate it. Thanks

On a ‘26-‘27 “all steel body” (coupe or tudor); Use urethane caulk under the wood (wood to body, inside the “L” channel that holds the top wood). You want to seal the wood to the body so your headliner and panels don’t get wet in the rain or while washing the car. This is the same urethane that you would use to put a modern windshield in. I use 3M Super Fast Urethane. It’s just under $20 for a calking tube. You really don’t want to use anything else because most sealers are corrosive and will affect your sheet metal or paint after a long period of time. What I’ve seen on original top wood looks like window glazing putty.
