Unpopular opinion: factory seam sealer is overrated garbage
I stripped a 2018 F-150 cab last week that had that factory seam sealer cracking everywhere after 5 years. I spent 3 hours grinding it all out and replaced it with 3M's brushable seam sealer. That factory stuff never flexes right and traps moisture underneath. Why do shops still defend it when aftermarket stuff holds up way better long term?
