Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
Does anyone know where seam sealer was applied on a 31 Tudor? I know I'll be sealing the header to the visor and the header panel. Any other spots I don't want any water damage once the cars completed. JP

Re: Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
From my experience working on 3 different 30-31 Tudors, there was NO "seam sealer" applied at factory.
Welting around gas tank, fenders and running boards was it. If your roof material is installed correctly, none will be needed.

Re: Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
I see the vendors sell a 'visor welt' that goes between the sun visor and the wooden header.. I don't know if that helps you or not.

Re: Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
That is correct that a seam sealer was not originally used. There was welting between the upper windshield panel and the underside of the visor; as mentioned cowl/ tank welting and that was about it on the body. Anything that you would put on, would be extra assurance but not done at the factory.

Re: Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
my only advise is.
if you are going to seal stuff on the body. NO NOT use silicone sealer. your painter will hate you. ou |

Re: Seam Sealer on 31 Tudor
Thanks Guys. I'll be using a 2 parts seam sealer so I'll be good. Thanks for the Idea of sealing the roof joint over the "B" pillar Brent. I had forgotten about the 1/4 welt under the visor.
I'm OK, I know the painter!! JP Last edited by Tinbasher; 10-09-2021 at 02:38 PM. Reason: add responce |
