Hi Spook,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am not sure what to tell you, yesterday I cleaned everything up, but I took a couple of pictures to show you the white stuff as well as the black in the upper curves of the hatch.

I own this 940 since day one, this is the first time I replace the rubber strip, so I suspect that sealant comes from Volvo.

Also, the replacement (used) strip I got, I can see the same white stuff (leftovers) in its channel too, which means there was some sort of sealant in that one too.

So I am puzzled.
If you do not have anything in yours, and you have no issues, I will just put it on as it is, and will see if I notice any water infiltration.

Please see my two images below:The black stuff was sticky as butyl rubber, really.
