Seat Box

arjjaze · Apr 4, 2006

For lots of different reasons I have had to remove the seat box from my 1973
S3.
The workshop manual says to replace using a suitable sealant.

What is considered a suitable sealant ?

I don't realy want a flooded Cab every time I hit a deep puddle

you can get proper stuff from car spares shops or just use bathroom sealant

Yeah a silicone based sealant is best as it will be easily removed if yer need to take the seat box out again. Apart from that it's cheap.

Use a butyl mastic i.e. Sicaflex, tougher and more adhesive than silicone. A decent car bodywork or paint shop will sell it or an equivalent.

nah mate, go with the silicone, cheaper and easier to get hold of

Are you not concerned where you place your arse?

why the **** do you want to put yer arse in the seat box?? ya kinky ****

i dont think using silicone sealer on a seat box that is bolted in will really make that much difference. it will seal it to stop water ingress and thats all the lad needs

Some sealants contain an acid which can cause some corrosion. Use an acid free sealant.

Thanks for the info, I'll always double check
