Not sure where to put this...

Hey mangs. So when i was hooking my throttole cable and tv pressure and all that good stuff i made a hole or two drilling :P. Anyways. Im wanting to plug these holes back up now due to ants coming in... ( Granted one window stays crack 24/7 ) Any sujestions as to what i can use. Is there any type of liqid silicone or anything out there to fill in holes? Thanks mangs.

Butyl Rubber sealant, that black stuff that usually comes in a rope. My Dad always called it dum-dum. That gives a good waterproof seal and it stays in place well.

Sweet, thanks mang. its spelled
Butyl?

how do you pronounce that? But - yal?

Use Clear Adhesive Silicone. That shit's tough, and it seals tight. The aero's front turn signals haven't leaked since then.

Byoo-tul...

If you use silicone make sure its 100% or else it won't be totally waterproof, if that is a concern.

in the location where the holes are 100% water proof isnt a concern. its right behind and to the side of where the radio is. but the hole is the size of a silver dollar. Thanks mangs.

And i hate to ask but would byoo tul be like Bute? brute with no r? and the tul more like tall?

Np, that stuff works really good. They use it for replacing windshields, door water barriers, firewalls, tail lights, ect. 3m has a window roll they sell but IIRC electricians & HVAC people use the same sort of thing which may cost you less.

Sweet buteall Gotcha.


One more question?
( And i know i asked it before )

But you mangs said that wax will actualy remove the glue that held the door guards on that run down the side of my car?

Wont have funds for to many mods any time soon so ide like to get the tiny shit taken care of hehe.

Wax will not. Polish will. You don't want a cleaner wax, you want a straight polish. Meguiar's #3 FTMFW.

Those are a tough one, You could try Varsol or Mineral spirits to help loosen it up, and a heat gun might help as well. Do you still have some of that white foam backing stuck on there too? I took off my two Rear quarter ones and redid them with the 3m adhesive and it wasn't as easy as I'd like to get the old stuff off. Allegedly, 3m has a rubber nubbed disk or attachment made for just this purpose that isn't supposed to murder the paint.

my mom has used hand cream to remove adhesive residue on metal and glass. I'm surprised that it worked, maybe you could try that.

[DarkKnight]

what type of hand cream?

It rubs the lotion on the door... those strips are a pain to get off but doable. If it works, it's a less aggressive approach and easier on the wallet.
