If you put isopropyl alcohol on your finger you can smooth the silicone perfectly. The alcohol prevent the silicone from attaching to your skin

@FroztiProductions 2 года назад

Here's a better idea if you want it to look perfect. Tape off the paint to create a nice line, then fill it like the video, smooth it out with your finger and latex glove, let it dry just a bit and peel up the tape.

@lacboiatl Год назад

Same way we fuel tanks on aircrafts. Works like a charm. Works on 3pc wheels too.

The weather here is looking like rain for the rest of the week im going to take it to an underground carpark to apply , the man at the shop told me it only takes 1 hour to dry but i see your comments of 24 hours im using jb weld black silicone sealent and adhesive, if i wait for the 1 hour should i cover it for the rest of the night with some plastic paper or will that still stick to it

I wish I had seen this video earlier. I just placed an order for a whole bunch of weatherstripping supplies thinking it was my door leaking. Note that I look closer, I believe this is exactly what is happening with my car. Luckily that sealant is one of the things I ordered so I should will be able to give this a try. Thanks for the helpful video.

@chud2070 10 месяцев назад

@VinayakGovande actually yes it worked surprisingly well. I did have to go back over it a couple of times and extended it out farther than I thought, but now it no longer leaks. Good luck with yours if you give it a try!

@aaronpixler3842 2 года назад

Although this may repair the problem it will also cause a problem. It will now trap moisture in , and rot the windshield frame. This repair is fine if your getting rid of the vehicle within a few years though. Windshield adhesives are actually a permeable breathable glue. They expand and contract also . Silicone is not.

@danieljames6221 3 года назад

Using any silicone around the pench weld will create moisture that will create rust this will not fix a leak . The mouldings in the corners has nothing to do with the seal it is just for looks. The urethane seal is under the glass .

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

I’ve only used it on oil pan gaskets and small projects. I have never used it in seals but heard from mechanics that it is not recommended.

@rhettdopwell5351 Год назад

Thanks for the video, your on the right track but the drain should not be blocked. As someone mentioned it is a good idea to tape off painted area and windscreen that you don't want siliconed and use popsicle stick to press silicone into windscreen seal crevice. smooth it out leaving drain as free as possible.

@rezarafie1818 Год назад

My windshield is a replacement: maybe 5 years ago. They glued it on. Would it make good sense to use that black silicone around the entire shield just to be sure I have gotten it all?

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

Gerald Schmidt it wouldn’t hurt, but if you have no leaks it might be overkill

@thew4rrior5code 3 года назад

Will this work on my rear window (Ford Fiesta 3dr) the gap between the rear window where the rubber seal is has a gap or hole because there's a drip down the inside of the window so will any silicone sealant be good to fill the gap and I'm guessing I should use black sealant?

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

Yes, this should work. I would use the black RTV silicone

Windshield leak question: I never had a leak until I had a replacement (for a rock crack) and then when they replaced the replacement it still leaks & they won’t accept responsibility. Hence, here I am on RU-vid looking for solutions :P. It’s a heavy leak on the drivers side downward angle. What would you recommend?
