Seal under chrome

[Matt306]

On the top of the windscreen is a nice piece of chrome, probably scratched. Under that is a thick piece of sealant.... where can i get another or what have people used?

Slightly surprised no one has responded to you before Matt, and seem to recall a discussion on this or something similar a while back, but probably like me, you can’t fight your way through this new site to find it.

I believe the original sealant was Expandite Seelastic SR 51 or possibly M1 mastic, but I doubt  that exists anymore.  I’ve just used a generic black non-hardening windscreen sealant, also used for guttering, though I can’t recall the brand. I don’t think it’s crucial though, just something that stays flexible, doesn’t harden and isn’t silicone.

Something like good old 'dum dum'.

Think Woolies trim sells something like that..

Hi Matt,

            if your 'chrome' capping is like the TR4 - 6 versions then it is bright Anodised on Ali (previously Brass)

Looks just like Chrome but goes on Ali a lot easier.

Moss - Europe sell a decent sealant  for windscreens etc used for this capping

Make sure all the rivet & bolt holes have a bead around their periphery otherwise the windscreen frame fills with water
