Paul,

Yes any good body man will tell you not to use silicone caulk just because
of that fact. The best thing to use is body seam sealer. 3M makes it in a
regular tube for a calking gun. It doesn't set up hard so that it will
expand and contract with the metal and is paintable after curing. This is
the same stuff that the auto makers use. You can get it at any auto paint
and body supply store. Hope this helps.
