Default Re: Hatch Lip

what he said about sealing just the gap, from the top, with silicone. Silicone does get dirty after a few years, but then take it out and do it again. With a new piece, wax it up real good on both side of the gap, and the silicone will always come out. I once was re-doing a 284 Intrepid and they were meticulous about their gap, wax, and silicone bead...the floor hatches came out in minutes and then the extra silicone was really easy to strip off both sides. Natural inclination is to bed the whole darn thing in sealant, but you will only do that once.
