Recommendations needed on trim

[Moparfiend]

Hey guys, I have a gap in my trim and I believe it must have been there before I did my body as I don’t think I did anything to this area. It’s at the rear window bottom corner lower part of the drip rail/gutter (see pictures). Not a good place for a gap! I don’t have any pictures of this before teardown.

If it left this way at the factory what did use to seal this? What’s your opinion on how to seal this up?

I smooth a little seam sealer in there with my finger and brush touch it with paint after it's dry

Sounds good and was thinking that as well. But I am still scratching my head how this is and what was done prior as it’s like a puzzle that used to fit (I think) and doesn’t now. No big deak. Was just curios.

That is pretty normal to fit like that.

The fit and finish on our cars suck, period. It's a fact of life. Short of welding and metal finishing it, it is what it is.
Try a little 3M strip caulk jammed in there and smooth it out. It's black and will never be noticed. Seam sealer with some touch up paint is a good idea too as mentioned above.

Thanks, I came from land of Chebbys so my expectations are a bit too high lol.

That’s the way they came from the factory. If you leave it as is make sure your drain hole on the bottom of the 1/4 is not restricted. It will drain out from the bottom. Just the way it was designed.

Most likely you wouldn’t find that problem on 66-7 b bodies.
