Whats the stuff used to seal between the window winder regulator and the door body? Looks like Blu Tac or putty. Is it literally putty?

Car in bodyshop so need some when re-building doors etc.

Hi,
I agree, it looks just like blue tak!
You can use something called "Dum Dum Putty". It comes in a yellow tin from memory and feels like blue tack.
This stuff is ideal for re-fitting your window regulators with. Simply work the putty into long sausage shapes and press into the door regulator recesses.
Then offer up the regulator and fit the screws. As you tighten the screws, the putty will squash out and take up any gaps.
This will prevent metal-to-metal contact and also help reduce "drumming" of the inner door skin.
Cheers, Steve.

It's the same stuff that comes with kitchen sinks to seal them to the worktop

If you can't get the right stuff, builder's mastic, which is non-setting, will do. Note that adhesives and sealants which set or harden don't generally stick to polythene. Don't ask me to explain why mastic does, but it certainly does, while remaining removable.
