Are you thinking about the putty like material between the top part of the birdcage from the back to the front and the chrome trim piece your t-tops rest on?

Thats 3-M strip-caulk.

No. It's at the joint were the chrome part joints the body. It would be at the back edge of the t-top. Thanks glassman74

Alan,
The area is were the chrome "T" shape metal part that the T-tops rest
on meet the fiberglass of the body straight up above the seat backs.
Hope this helps.

Thanks glassman74
