Window rubber sealant

Post by bmouthboyo »

Hi guys,

Last year I had my van prepared and sprayed but as I live abroad it's sat under a cover (I know, I know) but I am paranoid about leaks around the rubbers and having to get the screens out and doing work again.

Is there a recommended sealant I can use just under the rubber lips of the new window rubbers to be sure it doesn't leak?

Cheers

I used arbomast autograde black flexible sealant between rubber and body.
It fixed my leaks easily.
I used the one with green writing not yellow, not sure if they are different.
