Rear screen sealer

Happy Wanderer · 13th April 2021, 11:40

Hi all, was just wondering if anyone could advise me on the best silicone sealer to use on the back screen of my 75 saloon as I'm renewing the bottom clips & want to cure the leak problem when putting them & the screen back in. Tia
Regards
Andy

Don't use silicone, a polyurethane based sealant is what I would recommend. Did this same job last year (but without removing the rear screen). I decided to discarded the foam gaskets/washers from the clips (I'm sure they will work as intened but will eventually fail to maintain a proper seal over time) and bonded/sealed all the trim clips/fasteners into position using Sikaflex 521-UV (plus preparation using the recommended cleaner/solvent Sikaclean 205-1450). Available on-line or from suppliers of caravan equipment, neither is cheap but are the right product for the job; the sealant is available in light grey, white and black.

Sikaflex is the best for this job Andy.

Thanks very much guys, I've just got a set of new clips for the bottom just incase I break the old ones. So I'll get some of the stuff you've both recommended before I start 👍🏻👍🏻😊!!
