Windscreen brackets

R1nut · Jun 1, 2016

Im replacing the windscreen brackets soon because my leak badly and are in a pretty poor state, the question I have is do I use sealant along with the gasket? The previous owner has filled the gaps up in the brackets, is this a good idea or just leave as intended?

I intend to use some 2mm closed cell foam each side of the gasket, so there's no mess from wiping sealant everyehere.

I like that idea. What are the gaskets made from?

Mine are just a thin bit of plastic. Put them on the foam as a template and cut with craft knife. Will be doing the same with all door hinges aswell.

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'm on the hunt tomorrow for some foam

Wilko's sell it, anywhere that does craft stuff really. The Range do a multi-coloured pack.

Brillant thanks, there is a Wilkos just down the road

filling the back with silicone is a good idea ,stops corrosion forming where you dont see it and creeping round to where it shows ...roger ,wilkos , over and out ,,,,,lol

I replaced mine a few months ago, new ones came with plastic gaskets and I just used them. After seeing this thread I'm thinking of taking them off and getting some wilko foam to do a slightly better job.
