Thanks everyone for the great responses. It does look very much like plumbers putty. However, my experience with plumbers putty is that it does get hard with time. That could depend on the brand. I was thinking of a waterproof type of bedding compound. Not sure what specific brand would be good. Any body have specific brands and products they can suggest? The bedding compounds I've looked at such as used for windshield rubbers all seem to be black. I've used this for windshield rubbers in the past with good success. However I'd like to keep the color to gray as original. The product suggested by SS427 looks a bit like electrical duct seal but I've never seen it in a roll like this before. It sure does look like the product used for the windshield trim. I'll check around and see what I can find. My concern is using a product that remains flexible, waterproofs the joint and does not form an adhesive bond so I can take the trim off again if necessary. Taking the trim off this time was not easy and some of it got a little bent but repairable. luckily I have a spare set.
