The rear door seal on my Transit Custom was full of muck along the bottom and I popped it off today for a clean of the weatherstrip itself and the body lip etc. that it pushes on to. In the weatherstrip groove that pushes onto the body lip there was some white-ish, soft sticky caulk - most came off the in weatherstrip groove, some remained on/in the body lip edge.

Any idea what product it is folks?

Could do with a new bead of whatever it is along the bottom as most came out with dust and dirt. Presume it helps hold the weatherstrip on and acts as a seam edge sealer. Didn't seem like an actual adhesive though, more like Plumbers Mait type non-setting putty.

Sounds like a similar issue to most Ford Focuses. Just glue it back on with some gorrila glue.

In case it helps anyone else, it’s non-setting butyl mastic AKA seam sealer.
