What sealer to use on the hinges.

[green69rt]

The holes that the hinge mounting bolts go thru had some kind of sealer in them.  I looked in the FSM but didn't find anything.   Does anyone know what's used?

I would just use paintable seam sealer.

Thought so.  Thanks.

they use a black tape dope ,strip calk..if you put seam sealer it gets hard & you would not be able to adjust your doors.

Oh, I'm not familiar with either of those products.  Can I get them at a automotive shop?

That'll work.

Any type of sealer that remains flexible will do.  Severe cold will make all caulk pretty hard, but that's likely the time you are not trying to adjust the doors.   

Try to get a non silicone caulk so you don't mess up any future paintwork.

Yeah, here in Houston, finding a severe cold day is hard to do.

That's the only thing that could really hurt the strip caulk so you'll be fine going with that.
