There seems to be a "million" types of sikafklex sealant/ adhesive on the market but all with different numbers.
Is there a definative answer as to which one to use to bond a high roof to the van?
Also, on average, how many tubes are required for the job?

Re: sikaflex type
I'd be going for the 'Marine' version of the sealant as it tends to cover all applications.

Timbertech uses Tiger Seal to put his tops on. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

2 tube should do it, but I suggest having 3 just in case.

Do I,
1-apply to the van and drop the roof on.
2- apply to the roof and drop the roof on.
3- apply to both
