i have a leak on my suroofs. I never use them so im thinking of calking them shut.
Has anyone else done this, and what are the downsides
In the 10 years ive owned this truck, ive never used them anyway. The only time id want to is when im off road but that will destroy them. So.....
Now, my floor boards are starting to rust and i just dont have the time to fix the sunroofs properly.
has anyone actually sealed theirs shut and stopped the leaks forever?
i used black silicone on my '96. front and back sunroofs and have had no leaks since. did this about six years ago.
If the roofs work it's worth the fix IMO. Otherwise two words...Flex Seal (As Seen on TV!)
If there is a less permanent quick fix, i would be open to it
I'd go w/ the spray or the brush on. You can tape off a nice strip all the way around the seam and do several coats. I did this to my cracked & weathered seals on my D90 and it came out rather nice. Also sealed up a leaking roof seam on a D2 with the same stuff. The tape is a bitch and doesn't hold up well to direct sunlight.I guess this is would make sense

that would certainly do the trick.I assume cleaning it with alcohol is a good idea
I was thinking about using stupid amounts of it so that it spills out after i close them shut. Then I can just use a razor to cut the excess
