I am about to put my caps back on and took a sample piece of the caulk that was under my caps to the local automotive paint store. It is still flexible after more than 40 years. They sold me a beige 3M seam sealer, fast and firm #08505 that will stay somewhat soft like the original stuff. I'm resealing all the way across the front header. I think I have the correct stuff for the job, I just want to be sure because this leading edge is subjected to the wind and rain when driving and would certainly be the main source of wind driven rain leaks. Any comments? Correct sealant before I go gooping it on?
