It's just a water sealant, and is perfectly reusable.
No idea what it's called or where to get it from, because I've always reused it, but the same stuff is supplied in strips with some hobs and sinks for the kitchen.

I searched long and hard to find some of that. I eventually used some stuff made by 3M. I think it's supposed to be used to seal around the edge of door skins when you fit a new one etc.sam325is wrote:has anyone here removed their sunroof runners before? if so they will have found grey putty stuff underneath them.

Could try Plumbers Mait, comes in small tubs and is usually used for bedding in bathroom fittings and waste pipes so is water proof and stays soft like putty. Usually cheap as well.

You risk getting water under the runners, and leaking inside the car.sam325is wrote:what would happen if i didnt use it?
