Roof Bar Seals

Recommended Posts

Hey Folks,

 

I've been  asked by my elderly neighbour , who owns a 2004 D2 and not very computer literate to put up a post on his behalf. 

 

He has the G4 Roof Bars and has noticed the roof lining is wet, a closer inspection confirmed the  roof bar gaskets are the issue. 

 

Has called the local  Stealers ,  who  say the Roof Bar gaskets are obsolete and would  not give out part numbers. Can  anyone help auld Hamish with part numbers ?

 

There was also the  possibility of using a  sealant adhesive  around the base of the bars and  then setting the bars in  place , what is  the  best adhesive to use for  this  and one  that won't damage the  paintwork ,  can anyone recommend sealant?

 

Been  advised  no  TigerSeal  as its hellish  to  remove if required to  do  so.

 

TIA

I replaced the (very tired) gaskets on my 1994 Disco by purchasing some quite dense closed-cell foam material, about 1" thick, and then cutting to size.  Yes, the exposed edges store water because the cells are open there (having been cut), but beyond that water does not penetrate.
