Hello Steve,

Well, I have used 3M produced seam sealer to do some trunk
repairs/mods on my Fiero autocrosser.  Worked well for me.  I 
did note that in thicker amounts, it tended to shrink over time.
Might not be best to use it to fill a gap 3/8" or larger :^)

I used the 3M Fast 'N Firm Seam Sealer, No. 08505

Hope this helps,
