It depends on what the "plastic strips" are made of. If they are polyethylene (and I hope they aren't) nothing will stick to them.

You may want to check with TM to find the manufacturer of the strips. Then find out what kind of "plastic" they use and find a sealer that will adhere to that plastic. Most sealers will adhere to the paint that they use on the aluminum panels.

It's sort of disappointing that TM obviously didn't take the time to do that........ very unprofessional IMO.
