Here's a pic of the channel (groove?) that the sealant lives in. on some cars, this is reusable. on my particular 2000, this silicon was not resusable. even at 250 for 15 mins, it was pretty solid and not very melty. the entire channel all the way round the case had to be scraped and cleaned. it was the least fun i've had with my car. about 1 hr per side.

also notice the meltiness.
