    There is a rope caulk that the factory used.  Most Mustang suppliers carry it - https://www.npdlink.com/product/stripping-caulk-cord-black/106653?backurl=search%2Fproducts%3Fsearch_terms%3Drope%252Bcaulk%26top_parent%3D200001%26year%3D1966&year=1966

    Home Depot carries rope caulk also.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks!
    I see I have a package of rope caulk on the shelf. Oh, It's as old as the Mustang, think I'll get some new.
