The stuff is called Butyl 200 1993

If you are talking about the black sticky stuff around the ac lines you must be talking about butyl. That stuff may be part of a 240's long life since you find it in strange places up under the dash or under the carpet. A lot of the windshields are held in with butyl.

You can find stuff called butyl at the hardware store, but a lot of it is marketed as a roof patch or as a weather seal. I have seen it in light gray and black colors a couple of times. Some of those have other compounds added to them and can make quite a mess. I am talking about the ones marketed as roof patches, they have a tar look with a granular additive that you do not want to attempt to use the way Volvo did. The gray stuff I bought is more viscous and even more sticky than the black stuff and not much use IMOH.

Bottom line is that I have yet to find an equivalent to what you find in the 240. I have not tried a glass installer however, that just might be the best place to start trying to find a tube. I know that they heat the stuff they use up before using it.

Regards,

Paul
