Thanks to all who have taken time to offer ideas on my problem. I'm going to try the Permatex and will give an update when the job is done. My wife Linda and I own and operate Morgan Century Farm B&B in Lincoln Falls Pa. We welcome any forum members and offer a discount to Mopar owners , military and seniors.
