We bought a 2003 Fleetwood Jamboree GT (if that means anything to anybody) and we (I) are reworking much of the interior. I took apart the shower door and frame to chase down a water leak and repair the wall below it but now I am wondering about how I should re-seal during reassembly.
The door threshold plate had a very liberal layer of goopy, still soft, sticky, thick gray stuff. It does not feel like any sort of latex or silicone caulk that I have ever used so I am wondering if it is butyl or something? It's my guess that this gray goop is from original manufacture, 15-plus? years ago. Realizing all this is still a poor description, I am asking anyway, can anyone guess what this stuff is? Was there a sealant that was usually used for this application, way back then?
And should I apply something in these joining surfaces as I reassemble, to wake up and re-seal these joints?
Thanks ahead of time for your help!
