Its not about cheap or ugly. It fixes the problem for good. If you just buy a new gasket it will just wear out again. And its not like you can see it from the outside. The main point of it is to keep water out

how u think yr glass is held to the car.. only differ from that stuff and silcone is silcone isnt designed to hold weight!!! the gaskets are shit

[rychu]

best way, replaced new gaskets. and silicone the openings to secure for a LONG time

[Karl]

I have no gaskets.. Just silcone.. Nothing gets in now

[rychu]

ok i just found out theres still a small leak coming from the left side of the boot, only affecting the area with the spare tyre. how do you take out the panel? cuz i tried unscrewing the screws but the screws didnt seem to come out. am i doing something wrong?

[Karl]

the back one comes out easy.. the side one you need to remove the top part of your rear seat.. and undue bolts and clips.. may be your antenna!!

[rychu]

@ karl: yeah i tried unscrewing the panel screws for the back but they didnt seem to come out so i was like wtf? and lol come on antenna? really??????

[Karl]

oh i thought u ment u did the lights and it didnt work.. theres clips on the top an the bottem for the rear plastic. u also need to remove the bar.. if the screws in the clips dont come out.. wedge them with a flat head while unscrewing when all clips off just pull it off.. the side ones.. there huge an the rear seat top half needs to be uncliped.. if u commin tomorrow ill show u

[rychu]

ok ill try that, just dont want to break the whole thing LOL. and i cant do tmr i have work. GAYYY D:

[Karl]

sick, cough cough.. lol yer yank it a little

[rychu]

is there any possible water entry through the fuel door? because i cant seem to find the problem. havnet had time to pull apart the rear seats and panels

[Karl]

Don't think so.. It's the lights or anntenna

[Hau]

Don't think so.. It's the lights or anntenna

they are the most common places on the dc2. dc5 only has tail lights

[rychu]

ok update. i suspect it was the sealant for the boot so i just applied silicone tonight, hopefully that will solve the issue

on that note, how much water can get through the antenna??
