Re: [AMC-list] When replacing door and trunk gaskets, ...

Also, I'd suggest using BLACK adhesive.  When doing the Javelin, I used a 
"regular" yellowish-colored 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (also called "monkey 
snot/gorilla snot", I believe), and had to do careful cleanup to remove any 
excess, as it really stood out.  I wised up and used the black flavor on my 
wife's Firebird; much nicer deal.
