Gripfill but once it's on it's fucking hard to get them off again if you need to take them off you can get it on ebay

i thought grip fill was for interior use only

does the excess wipe off cleanly or does it make a mess thinking of bonding on my arches with it?

As above ,get the propper rails otherwise the sill skirts will sag over time.But you can BOND the arches on like i did with a product call TEROSAT.It,s used to BOND IN WINDOWSCREENS.
