[RE-wrenches] Between module gasket system

[Benn Kilburn]

A real DIY would be to use masking tape on the top side of the gap then fill from the bottom with a sealant (or I suppose taping the bottom side and fill from the top would work too). It wouldn't have to be completely full as long as it covers fully from side to side and relative thick/deep (half mod frame thickness?)
 I would use the roof sealant that we use... Henry 925, since it is designed to stay flexible and withstand dynamic movement and good for up to a 1" gap. Then next day remove the tape, unless you use a very high quality tape to begin with. 
I'm sure there are better ways or at least improvements that can be made this initial suggestion, but it's my day off, sort of ;)
