The stitching on one side of my rear window has failed. I hope to persuade SWMBO to work her magic on it, but wanted to check for ideas on:

1) What thread to use?

2) Whether to use a sealant between the hood and the window and if so what to use?

Thx - Streaky

Thanks. E-mailed RichardR for address of Reading company (I'm in Farnham so reasonably close). I hope my insurers take the same view as his and cover it as for windscreen - Streaky
