Hi Jim, it looks like you used a sealer between the door skin and the reinforcing plate. Was that just to hold the plate in place or was there another reason.


I noticed that too after I posted the picture. In all honesty I can't remember if I had a good reason at the time (present day senior moment...). I don't recall if the vendor mentioned it or not so so it may be nothing more that it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm pretty sure it is nothing more than regular RTV so functionally it would provide a seal in case water ever migrated down past the window whiskers, although not much of a chance of that happening as the car does not see much rain... The RTV could also prevent it from any rattles or vibrations. Good eye.

Jim
