Silicone sealant for BHLM?

Hey guys,

Bezels are drying overnight for the BHLM, also clearcornered while I was in there. Looking to apply some silicone sealant when I reassemble and button everything up tomorrow...can you guys recommend some good brands I could find at Lowes/Vatozone/Advance? Just want to be sure it gets done right.

 

Lowe's,

 

Whatever brand you get, make sure it's rated for the temps in your area.

 

No silicone. That stuff is a mess and a half. Use 3M Windo-Weld.

It will look like this or similar. You can find it at most auto part stores.

 

none!! if you put them together right, you will need no additional sealant. i've done over a handful this way and have never had a leak.

 

Got the Windo-Weld...like the idea of removing and replacing the original sealant adhesive...

 

I used RTV

 

permatex black rtv silicone......and they probably make a clear type as well. good stuff.

 

Going with the windo-weld...seems more straightforward with less chance of error...that fucking OEM sealant is horrible to work with.

Viet has a badass write-up here on the windo-weld, along with the rest of BHLM. Only con to the WW is the shit is pricey...$20 for the kit...but hell, I want it done right. Pics later today after I get reassembled.

Pics as promised. The Windo-Weld seemed to work great...washed it after letting them cure for a couple hours, and no problems. Thanks for the input fellas!

 

nice....looks great.

 

+1 does look great!

 

+1 if they are OEM.

 

i used "grey seam sealer" from autozone, it is used to seal seams in bodypanels where water could get in.. no problems yet.. even with a power washer
