Best sealant to use for Pollen filter housing?


Recommended Posts

You want the proper sealant cord from VW.  If you are lucky your local dealership might give you some.  If you don't have any joy i have some left still, send me a message and I can sort you some out for postage money.

Sorry, won't be able to get it to you for then.

 

A lot of people use silicon but I think it is a bad idea, the smell and the mess.

 

I've used Shell Tixophalte for doing door carrier panels - which is a flexible bituminous black sealant in a sealant gun cartridge, quite like the sealing cord but a lot "wetter" - apparently quite like roofing seal.  I think it would be a messy old job though...

A few weeks ago I had the leaking door panel problem on a purchaced Ex taxi 07 Superb,  My neighbough saw me working on the car asked what was wrong, said he would be back  and arrived back with half a tube of black Stixall, told me to use that on the panels and they would never leak again...   He also knew about the pollen filter housing issue and helped me in Stixall "ing" that too...

 

As I had never heard of this stuff before I checked on Tinterweb afterwards and found this on Stixall

 

;STIXALL Extreme Power is the ultimate combined building adhesive and sealant, based on hybrid polymer technology, with the most Extreme power to both bond and seal virtually EVERYTHING to ANYTHING in virtually all conditions, even under water or in the rain! STIXALL Extreme Power offers almost limitless benefits as an adhesive and a sealant removing the previous application barriers associated with conventional products.

 

Oh  my carpets  now also stay dry when it rains ..

I now have another problem with water getting inside the doors. Sounds a bit like what you may have had.

Is this difficult to sort out?

Is there a comprehensive guide for doing the work?

Cheers
