fitting side windows to my 90 defender what is best sealant to use

HI
:doh:
I need some advise please.

I have purchassed some new side windows for my 90 county defender, and would like to know what is the best sealant to use to glue them in and are they ok with just gluing them in ?

Regards
Keith

Tiger Seal or a good RTV silicone will do.

If you want to keep your defender I'd suggest making the windows a little more difficult to remove??

Thanks

Is it available at B+Q or Halfords? and can you advise the fixing, should I drill and bolt as well?

Thanks
Regards
Keith

Tiger seal or rtv is available from most motor factors. I'd use Poprivets meself. as they can't be undone (well not without a drill) and they look neater.

Cheers, Redhand

Thanks for the advise, Ill go with poprivets, your spot on.

Thanks again

Why not go to a local independant windscreen fitter and buy a tube of the proper stuff. If it's good enough to hold windscreens in (and survive crash testing) it should do the job. I know windscreen fitters who put kitchen cabinets on the walls with the stuff!

Cos a sharp knife round the window frame will quickly release it from the vehicle side.

Hi Dogsbody

I did go to Autoglass on Saturday, and apart from the specialist gun they use to put the sealant on with, the 3 guys there, said it was more than their jobs worth, to either sell me the sealant, or do the job as a forengner.

Autoglass, a division of Belron one of the world's largest car part suppliers, is hardly an independent windscreen company!!!

Poprivets and Sikaflex every time.
