I have reconditioned a replacement lower dash/heater duct and I now need to refit the top plate & cable.

The foam is in surprisingly good condition, but I don't want it out again in a hurry, so which non-setting sealant are people using when refitting that top plate please?
TIA

I used closed cell camping mat, cheap.
I also figured that it would help the heat stay a little hotter to the drivers side :rolleyes:
 
What thickness was that please?
Dunno :vb-weyes: was 20 yrs ago, at a guess 6 or 8mm? I also glued layers together for the heater box to bulkhead seal, around the gear levers(under the rubber thing) and under the brake master cylinder lid.
Oh, and on the heater box flaps inside the heater box.
The best stuff I used is blue and soft and warm to the touch , cheaper stuff is sort of plasticy and not as flexible/warm/soft.

I used neoprene tape when I rebuilt the heater box. quick question for this application what do you want non-setting? would silicone gasket not do the same job and not bee much more difficult to remove in the future should it be needed?

I used Blue Hylomar in the end.
Not too difficult to remove if I am ever unfortunate enough to have to disassemble it again.

It’s not going to come off though at all, as it will be clamped around the full edge when it’s screwed back in place !!
 
I mean for flap and/or spring maintenance.
Ok. I thought you were talking about the foam over the full plate. I done all of this recently on my 90. Anywhere glue was required I used high temp spray adhesive. There’s not much else that can be done really and time will tell if it’s worked.
