i've taken my van to the autoglass type of place and for a few quid they do it with their proper stuffCovKid wrote:Yep, get a tube of roofing mastic (about £3 in B&Q) and on a DRY day, lift rubber using nozzel and pump it in under rubber right round - clean off with white spirit. Better to do the job properly though to be honest. Don't use silicon aquatic sealant - its useless.
And no it won't look like a seal problem. They never do. What happens is rubber loses its elasticity over the years and water can get under easily. Needs the tiniest hairline gap for water to get in. Tolly's Creeping crack Cure won't do it either - gaps too big.
The downside of mastic on an unresolved problem of this nature is you'll never attend to it and damage can then be REALLY costly to repair, not to mention all the mastic you'll need to remove if you do.
