3M Strip-Calk
Soft, Yet Tough for Automotive Aftermarket
With its durable butyl rubber construction and permanently-pliable formula, our 3M Strip-Calk is ideal for filling non-visible automotive joints, seams, voids and gaps. This thumb-grade seam sealer arrives ready to install without mixing, spraying or tools. It thumbs in quickly and smooths with a fingertip. And its high heat resistance also makes it suitable for applications including engine compartment seams and firewalls.
A Permanent Seal
3M Strip-Calk never hardens or becomes brittle, so seams stay smooth and gaps stay filled. It is also non-shrinking, which makes it excellent as a sealer for plugging holes and preventing noise and moisture penetration. You won’t have to reapply, and you’ll never have to perform rework because the sealer shrank, dried up and stopped working.
The Science Behind Great Solutions for Auto Maintenance and Repair
It arrives in a box in neat 1-foot lengths, ready to use. It installs in minutes without tools. It’s great as a seam and gap filler as well as a sealer for noise and moisture, even in high-temperature spaces. And it keeps performing, reducing rework and saving time and money. 3M Strip-Calk contains science at every step to make high performing auto repair and maintenance easy and profitable.
DETAILS:
- Permanently pliable material is ready to use for seams, joints and gaps
- Won’t shrink or become brittle, ensuring seals and greatly reducing rework
- Fast, no-mess application - thumbs into place and smooths with a finger

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It works very well and truly adheres to the door metal as well as the plastic door liner. No more leak. Someone had used silicone, which does Not stick to the door meteal long term.
However, this product is extremely sticky and therefore difficult to handle. I had to use and throw out three pairs of HD nitrile gloves as after a while you cannot get the butyl off of the gloves and onto the surface.
Bottom line is this product really works and will never harden, crack or let go. But be prepared for handling difficulty.
I also removed the targa top and inserted a piece of rope into the weatherstrip channel (to get the weatherstrip to press against the roof panel better) then sealed the rope in place with Strip Calk. No more leaks in the interior.
I also made the mistake of breaking a tab off a piece of plastic trim that that fits into another piece of trim. The tab is impossible to fix AND impossible to buy (given the age of the car). No problem. I added a small piece of Strip-Calk around the edge of the trim, pressed it in place and removed the excess so you can't see the repair. Perfect! If I need to remove the piece again, it's easy to do so, but it won't fall apart, and I can always repeat the Strip Calk solution.
Strip calk remains sticky forever, so you have to be careful where you use it, but for sealing leaks and fixing cracks in 23 year old weatherstripping that is impossible to find, it's perfect! (As long as you can use it on a hidden surface of the weatherstripping. This stuff sticks to everything, so you can't use it in place of weatherstripping, where it might touch a door for example, But you CAN use it to reattach weatherstripping to its metal attachment points or to close some cracks in weatherstripping.)
I'm finding lots of situations where Strip Calk solves a problem that I had no other way to solve. Example: The Del Sol door panel has a deeply recessed screw in it so your screw can easily drop off the screwdriver and into the bottom of the door. If you're removing the door panel this isn't much of a problem, but if you just spent a half hour lining up plastic pins and getting them in place, and you drop a screw into the bottom of the door during the last step in reassembly, that is a huge nuisance... However, a tiny dot of Strip Calk between the end of your Phillips head screwdriver and the screw head ensures that that friggin' screw isn't going anywhere but in the door panel hole. :) It works more reliably than a magnetized screwdriver.
A lot of folks seem to complain that the strips either stick together or stick to the paper, but in reality this is a minor issue. Sure you might get two strips when you wanted one, or pulling the strip off might result in breaking a strip in multiple pieces. But just remember, this is a piece of caulk... you can form in into any shape you want... be creative.
Also, I've found that if you wet your fingers before handling it, it won't stick to your fingers and you can manipulate it in any way you want. When the water dries, the caulk gets sticky again, so, no worries. I always keep a spray bottle full of tap water near my box of Strip-Calk,
If you work on older cars, save yourself a lot of heartache... get this stuff.
