Thread: Fixed that damn leak at last

The metho stops the silicone from sticking to the paintwork while cleaning up edges.

Any pics of the fix

havnt got a camera this weekend- but it looks no different to before it was done except the black foam seal is now a bit shinier (the seal above the hinges) i just rubbed black silicone into it so it is no longer porous.

I had the same problem, & the same cure.

I took the trim off & did mine from the inside though, so I didn't have to worry about being too neat.



Just re-read your post, mine was between the rear side window & the tub.
