Thank you yeh I’m not too fussed on the look just making sure it’s all waterproofed and working. Will seam sealer stick to shiny top coat and is there a particularly good one to use. Was going to go for Halfords grey stripe but heard it reacts with some things. Thanks

Hello I seem to have water getting in through a bolt panel that attaches the boot struts to the tailgate, have tightened bolts to no avail, any ideas ins god sealant or things to be aware of? Thank you.

I need to seal a joint in panels behind a rear taillight but the area needs repainting also. Would I apply these? 1.anti rust primer - Halfords basic ok? 2.seam sealer - any brand you can suggest for a complete beginner? 3. Coloured paint 4. clear top coat? Or can seam sealer be applied to fully...

Ill have a look when i get some free time in daylight, not easy at the moment.

I have epoxy putty on my car in two places that has dried rock solid, it needs removing and replacing with appropriate sealant as water is getting in through it but no body shop / mechanic wants the the job because of the time outlay involved to remove it. Its on unseen areas, inside car behind...

I don’t think so, can’t see anyway to tilt in mine sadly

Thanks both If you mean the thin panel on the left of the light I think it’s the lighting as it’s not black , now checked over twice my mechanics and can’t find an obvious leak.

I have recently had a leak in a weld behind a taillight which is now sealed (-a good few weeks ago now) But I am still finding water in the car in small amounts (photo with red circle) and also flowing from the inside of the top of a rear side door panel downwards towards a wheel arch. (Pictures...

Thank you for the advice folks, i just dont have the budget or skills to renew right now so wondering what will stick it, at least temporarilly. Thanks

I had a leak on a weld seam behind a tailight, partner fixed by using epoxy putty, and so far so good, it is stemming the water ingress but I am concerned as this stuff is very brittle and when the temperature drops it may crack or not withstand vibrations of the car moving well? Am I ok to...

What I’m dealing with..

Thank you, that still exceeds my budget right now unfortunately,

Thank you, thats a shame, it a about 1cm wide in bottom right hand corner and no material missing just a tear. I cant really afford to replace the whole strip at the moment. Would superglue work two join the two sides or too brittle? (My main worry there is if it fails it will tear it more)

Thank you, the tear is about 1cm wide bottom right hand corner and the rest of the strip appears to be in good condition. I cant afford a new weatherstrip, would superglue work to join the two sides. (There is no material missing - just the tear) Thanks

I have a small tear in the rubber stripping in the tailgate and wondered what experts here would recommend to save in cost of a new one this side of Xmas. I tried some silicone but it didn’t seal it back together so to speak. At the moment I have some duct tape over it but looking for something...

Thank you thats a relief. I can deal with a bit of scrubbing and cleaning but glad i can ignore the surface rust.

I have recently bought a k12 and discovered it had a water leak, think I have that sorted (joint behind a taillight) but have rust in the seat frames and mould in the car so it’s must have been going on a while. I’ve removed boot liner dried it all out and treated all areas I could see with...

People seem to hate on the cutesy look of the k12 but it’s reliable, the odd consumable repair is manageable, mpg is good and proper saved me in a nasty rear end collision so who has the last laugh here.

Just wondered on peoples thoughts using these, I'm reffering to the type with a split plain and a dotted line about 3/4 across and convex on the outer edge. I've picked up one from the breakers but finding it really disorientating to look in at times as my eye naturally goes to the point where...

Never had an issue, ok a bit slower to overtake some things but mostly mine and the MPG always been great.
