I used seam sealer between the cab and box on my daughters Dodge van we're working on and thought I'd post here in case it helps someone else in the future. I used SEM 29362 sealer that can be painted. I've never used sealer before so I had no idea how it would go but I'm happy with the results.
- Taped a border/edge
- Applied sealer with gun. I did learn that you can't "fix" areas once you've spread it out without it grabbing and showing an area that looks repaired, so I applied just enough sealer to do one continuous pass down the seam.
- Used a body filler spreader and curved it into the corner to make an arch.
- One pass down the entire length
- Removed the tape immediately after finishing the knock down.
- Once cured it's very firm but not completely hard. The cab and box are bolted together solid so I don't expect any problems with it cracking.
