>Avoid silicone sealants,
Dear Bill,
Why is this? I must admit to having had very good results with silicone sealants.
Hi Mike,
Sorry for the late reply - I've been trading and partying at the TSSC International since Friday! Have you ever had to replace a seal which has been previously sealed with silicone sealant? It's impervious to most solvents (are there any which work?) and sticks VERY firmly. A long slow (and sometimes painful) job with a razor blade. Bearing in mind that most modern seals will last no more than 5 years on a daily driver that lives outside in all weathers, fitting the seal next time round always figures in my thinking,
Ah! Now I understand. Thanks for that. Looks like Ellie's next windscreen seal replacement is going to be a pig of a job...
