Ok I'm ready to refit my vents. I've.got new seals and was wondering what the best way to attatch them is? I've got Evo stick, silicone or Tiger seal.
What do you guys recommend?
Thanks.

I used silicone on mine. I wanted something that I would be bale to remove in the future when they need replacing again.

I use gutter sealant a lot as its black and stays a bit soft so you can get things apart. Evostick is very hard to get right and it dissolves in petrol.

I used super glue. I'm not planning on replacing them again in my lifetime but they were a bit of a pain to get to sit correctly.

I just used impact adhesive and closed the vents on to the seal to hold them in

I plan on keeping mine long enough that I will have to replace everything more than once!

It's much easier to fit the later type of seal which fixes to the vent flap using self adhesive.

Do not get the open cell type foam ones,they hold water and promote rust.

Decided.on Tiger seal. I didn't use to.much and as already said clamped them down with the vents themselves.
