The memories are as nice to have as the data is useful, and the data is very useful.Yes Indeed that's brought back a few good memories of the day i took the photos with Malcolm
Thanks
Your efforts are much appreciated by this leaky 350SL ownerNo probs.
I've downloaded pretty much all Malcolm's pictures and will do others as and when i can and they become obvious to me.
I also have most of his library of documentation...I'm sorting through it all and putting into a more readily searchable form...
rexemper, I'd use the same sealer that Malcolm used in his video. I think it was Loctite sealer.
The sealer I used doesn't stick turns out is is a silicone sealer and can be lifted from the surface its supposed to be sealing
But it must be water proof as the water seems to runaway from the seals
Thanks. Will get some sealant ordered and then face up to it. Annoyed that I didn't do it when it wasn't so cold! Tightening the bolt seems to have done good, but now that I know its an issue I need to get it sorted.
Re-reading Malcom's instructions, there are a couple of steps where I'm not clear if the roof needs to be fully open or open so that the boot lid has swung up? Will re-read and then maybe ask a specific question on a specific step.
Read all the instructions . Don't miss out the hosepipe used to make sure the sealant sets against the rubber properly.
I helped Malcolm do the original post and took the pictures. I may still have them somewhere if I can find them!
The worse part for me was cleaning the original double sided tape glue off the rear screen rubber, took forever....Well it sure seemed like it
Just ordered the proper loctite 5940
What did you use to clean that? Did you try the warm air method or good old fashioned force?

As you say on Amazon Prime at £14.28 for 100ml, which should be enough with a little left...doubt you’ll find it much cheaper maybe RS
Edit: RS £10.58 but you’d need to set up an account I guess
