Any one have any suggestions of a good sealer to replace the factory "putty" around the AC lines where they enter the HVAC box?
I've got a fair amount of air escaping around the bottom pipe, need all the cold air on me and not the engine! I've used plumbers putty in the past on other cars, but it dries hard and dosen't last long. Thanks Joel |

Look in my ac thread...it's called dumdum by body shops or something like caulk sealant strips. 3m sells a box of 60 strips for like $25.

Yea Mat, I've used strips like that in the past for sealing bolt holes, seat belt anchors, etc.
I'm thinking I'll just clean all the old sealer off good and run a bead of black silicone around the pipe. I just don't like the looks of silicone as well as the proper putty. Thanks Joel |

Forgot to mention, the "term" used in the assembly plants for most of this type of sealer was rubber dough.

3M "window weld" ribbon sealer for glass setting is what I used. Glass shop nearby? Maybe they could give you a gob.

That's exactly what I tried to get from a local glass shop earlier. After about 10 mins of trying to explain to some tech guy what I wanted, I gave up and used some black silicone to seal it up. Thanks Joel |
