I have a small leak on the boot of my MK6 Fiesta (common problem). I need to put some Sikaflex around a few bolt heads etc, which type do I need to use? There's a few to choose from on Amazon.

TIA.

I'd just use clear waterproof silicone (which may be what the product you name is); back out the screw/bolt, squirt the goo round it then tighten up.

You don't want a sikaflex adhesive.

If you're using black sealant, make sure you are spectacularly careful in application (unless it's a black car).
