Sealing side reveal moulding and retainer

[Sheldon S.]

I am just ready to reinstall the side reveal moulding and the weatherstrip retainer on my 71 roadster, I remember that there was a black sealing compound between the reveal moulding and the windshield pillar but not sure if there is a sealing compound between the reveal moulding and the weatherstrip retainer. I don,t see any in the AIM between them but want to make sure. It does show cement in the retainer, I assume for the weatherstrip itself. Can someone tell me what is correct for this location.
Thanks

I can't help you directly, but look at the "similar threads"- there's a couple that discuss sealing the side reveal.

It should have a sealer tape on the inside and the outside gets either sealer tape or a regular sealer. I am not sure which it had for sure on the outside.

Hi Sheldon.
On my 71 (6589) there was a black sealer used between the reveal molding and the weatherstrip retainer that seemed to be very similar to the 3M Strip Sealer.
The original sealer on my car had a 'string' in it and appeared to be the same sealer used to secure the vapor barrier in place that's under the door interior trim panels which also had a string in it.
