Another easy to find topic!!!
Anyways, just wondering if anybody know what the permanently gooey stuff is inside the doors that you attach the waterproof plastic panels over the access panels on the back of the door to stop damaging the door cards from water ingress?
Hope that makes sense to somebody. Seems to be some sort of glue that never goes hard, so you can pull the protective panels off, work on your doors then put them back on.
Any ideas most welcome.

An oil based wood putty or possibly plasticine?
I've used spray glue in the past and that works OK.

I don't know what Toyota use but it was good enough to glue the snib button rods in the old boy's Camry to the point that you couldn't unlock the car from the inside. 
The rear doors were hardly used and the heat got to it and it ran down onto the rods that run the length of the door.

Theres about 500 different types guys, i think bunnings has several different types of what your looking for.
Just a non hardening sealant or caulking compound.
Cheers.

Yeah, they are all brand names that make everything from silicone to adhesive, but does anybody know the actual product name?
Bit like me asking what cereal you like, and you say Kellogg's or Uncle Toby's.

Mastic is that non hardening stuff thats kinda grey in colour and stiff like plasticine.You find it usually around tail lights.
Sikaflex is a brand name.They make a heap of different sealers to suit various applications ,just like Selleys do.
You do not want selleys windscreen sealant.That stuff is basicly the same as the silicone you use to seal your gutter on your house.

NO, NO, NO, Mastic, silastic and polyurethane (silkaflex is a brand name) are three very different things.
Mastic is like plasticine and stays soft.

Also under front guards and sealing fan motors and ducts etc.

Pete's edited advice:
They use a Non-Hardening sealing compound, every automotive manufacturer uses a different type and coloured version, some are more of a pain in the ass than others.
I'm kinda of the opinion unless your trying to recreate something for a pedantic restoration something like Windscreen sealer will do the job adequately and is cheap and readily available.
Thanks Pete.

I used Selley's mastic in a few areas when putting my HQ Monaro
back together in the late 80s as it was recomended to me to use
even said non-hardening on the tube but today I wouldnt say it
is anything like soft or non-hardening.

GMH used to use Bostik/Prestik 5214 grey or black mastic sealing strips for sealing most of the openings (steering colums, tail lights and I guess on the doors etc) and Bostik 5615 Non skinnning mastic sealer around the front and rear windows. I believe 5214 came in rolls 3mm thick, not in tubes like most other product, so similar to some of the mastic products for sealing windows in the building industry. Bostik NZ no longer sells 5214 but Bostik Aus still lists it in their catalogue. I am pretty sure there are better products out now.

Found one product, there will be others.
Did my door PVC access panels with Selleys Buttnyl Mastic.
Label says froms a tough skin, is paintable, but stays soft under. I'll let you know how it goes when I have to pull them off in a few weeks to fit new door belts (hopefully).
