Water shields

I used this white rope caulk that both Home Depot and Lowes have when I recently did the back panels. It worked, but I didnt get the upholstered panels on right away and some of the plastic was starting to peel off. Maybe too cold when I did it? Anyway, I added a few pieces of windoweld rope leftover from my glass install. That stuff sticks to anything and held great. Other than color, I think its a lot more like the original (which was still sticky after 40years).
