Did you use any sealer mate?

 

No (Should i have?)

Gotta be worth a try mate, especially if your car is left outside most of the time.

 

Right so this could be another option then

 

What sort of sealer should i use?

car windscreen sealer

dude.

 

 

did you fit the chrome strip in the rubber

 

this is highly important as it pushes the rest of the rubber tight against the bodywork.

 

black sika sealer would also be a good idea but make sure its all dry before you use it else it wont stick

Ah right thats a great help mate i will test it out on the front one then throw some water on it to see if it leaks If it does i will have to take them both out and seal them with something like dum dum

 

Thanks alot
