For those of you who have removed the rear fender wells, be it the wheel wells, propane or generator you will have noticed a tar like substance was used from the factory to seal them to both the floors and the sidewalls. Any suggestions on what to use as a replacement? I was thinking of butyl tape but any suggestions are welcomed.
TIA

That is a known leak area if you drive in the rain. The water ends up on the rear hallway floor. I used the Rustoleum version of the Flex Seal stuff that you see on TV. It has never leaked since.

Through The Roof clear flashing sealant brush on in quarts. About $15 at home centers. I used it 10 years ago up front at the side seams where factory black stuff had separated. Stopped cold draft.
