I was wondering what kind of sealant do I use on the panel when I put it back together? There was so much different goop on it Iam not sure what the correct way is? Or is there a stock seal or gasket of some kind? Bill 4104-4032

Mine had an old, petrified gasket. I cleaned everything up & made a new one with 1/2" self adhesive foam weatherstrip.

Biggest hassle I had was repairing all the "Rivnuts" which had gotten loose & spin where they are crimped into the sheet metal. Couldn't unscrew the hatch screws. I ended up glueing them with J-B Weld & they've been fine since.

i used a silicone sealant and sheet metal screwed it back on. then went around edges with insulating foam.

Well that's good, but what are you going to do NEXT time you need to work on something in there? Throttle cable, shift linkage, exhaust gaskets & mufflers.......
