The best paint job is achieved when all windows, rub strips, etc. are
removed. If any mechanical flaws are present (loose lap seams, etc) they
should be repaired as well as sealed before paint is applied. Use paintable
sealants. On a GMC, leave the drip rail alone on late coaches. Work on
sealing the ends of the drip rails carefully.
Others have different opinions on this subject.
