Not sure  this is really dum-dum. 
 
Harry's right.  The 3M strip caulk isn't the original, but it is a  good 
substitute for a lot of the sealer that GM used that can't be easily  found.  
I rolled the strip caulk between my hands to a string like diameter  for the 
hinges and laid it around the mating surface in a tight spiral so it  
wasn't too thick before tightening and it worked fine.  A little goes a  long 
way.  The old asphalt based spray undercoating worked in some cases as  well, 
but not on new paint jobs because of the petroleum based solvents  (according 
to the painter who had decades of experience).
