: The part number I used is: 5109K53
: Extreme-Temperature Silicone Foam Adhesive-Backed,
: 1/4" Thick, 1/2" Width, 3' L
: In stock at $6.87 Each

: I hated to spend the money on a strip that would be thrown away but
: this stuff worked so well I think the results well were worth
: the cost and the time and effort saved has got to be worth
: something.

: Here is a picture of the inside of my hatch right after I stuck the
: strip down. You can's see it but there is packing tape
: protecting the entire surface seen here. It went on as easy as
: it looks came off just as easy after the lip was glassed.
