I have read a lot on this site about the preference for for butyl tape over urethane. My installer says he can and will do anything I want but says that the urethane applied with a caulking gun is superior to butyl tape for safety and leak prevention. He said there will be no problem fitting the chrome trim because it lies flatter than the butyl tape.
What is the problem with using urethane? Thank you, Jack |

My car has had urethane for years without issue.
I use a rubber surround and frit paint rather then the stock trim, but I doubt that make a difference. Zach |
