So we got some serious rain for the first time in ages last night and today here in Portland, Oregon.
I get in my car and discover that the left portion of the seat is wet. I trace the source of the dampness to the upper left corner of the interior. The plastic seam next to the interior roof of the car has curled open a bit in the corner, and water was trickling in.
It appears to be a simple matter of resealing the plastic. But what is the best material to do it with? Duct tape looks far too tacky. I’d like something that will be visually unobtrusive. I’ll bet it’s some kind of silicone cement, but I’m unknowledgeable about which ones may be appropriate for this task.
I suggest you buy some of the sticky black stuff they used to use to fix leaks back in the seventies. Ferrari used the stuff like it was going out of style…and it was!
I searched the online catalog but they usually don’t have nearly as many of the products listed as they do in the mail-order catalog. I suggest you make a temporary repair with some 2" wide 3M electrical tape or silicone caulk until you receive a catalog and can make an honest repair and/ or recieve a cataalog in the mail.
Also, make sure that everything is completely dry before an attempt anything or else nothing will stick.
There is some marine/aquarium epoxy stuff that you’d use to repair a fish tank or perhaps something in your boat. I’m just familiar with this because I used it to hang up a soap holder in the bathroom, not to fix my fish tank or anything.
