Sealing tailgate hinges
Hi all
I could improvise something on this one, but thought I'd check first to see if others here have a tried-and-tested solution... The estate tailgate hinges are leaking water around the rubber seals. It's made worse by the fact that when I re-fitted the tailgate this summer, I had to use spacers and washers (on the body-side of the hinge) to lift the tailgate so it fitted better (the hinges may be sagging a little). But consequently, because the hinges are several mm higher now, they are no longer sitting flush on the body, compressing the rubber seals. I'm after a sealant which won't be a mess if I have to undo the hinge in the future (say to fix a broken wire). Any suggestions? John |
