Windscreen surround /seal

[LordGrover]

I've just discovered that my nearside windscreen surround has come away. I'm guessing it was the instructor on Monday doing the 'natural thing', gripping the edge of the screen, when lowering himself into or lifting himself out when the roof's off - that's what it looks like anyway.
Is this another application for the all-purpose Griff remedy Silkaflex or should I be looking elsewhere?

Sikaflex is the way

On the subject of slkaflex. Is there a certain one to buy?
I notice there are different ones available.

I believe Sikaflex 291 is the one to use. It is also used for sticking in the perspex headlight covers. It's not cheap so a trip to your local screen fitter might be worthwhile.

[LordGrover]

This then?

Not sure if it will do the same job, I've just bought some 221 to reseal all the perspex light covers on the chim, cheap as chips here http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/maurimarzal&ssPageNa...

maybe they do the othe stuff too

Thanks guys, I'll have a look around for that stuff.

Not all these sealants are as good as others.

There's a thread on here somewhere in which Gerbil explains why.

IIRC it was to do with solvent/ paint interacting. When I find that thread I will post the link.

Sikaflex have a very helpful technical helpline and do a useful (though very technical) catalogue. Phone no. is 01707 394444.
