@a8g2000pri.googlegroups.com, says...

squirty expanding foam?


That, followed up with grooving it sufficiently to take a neat bead of
silicone.


?? it's 20mm wide gap, if you were siliconeing you could probly do the
whole thing in 3or4 passes (with curing time between)....

tape on outside, spray with water from back and apply foam from back -
gently does it!!!! watch expansion rate
leave to cure
tape off front - paint (spray?) same as frame/door whatever
hack off excess from rear with knife/brute force as necessary

done in an hour shurely?
