[QUOTE="zzzzip, post: 147965, member: 270"] Kind of a late post on this subject, but I have to interject something about using 5200-- DON'T UNLESS YOU DON'T EVER INTEND ON REMOVING THE PIECE. I have been refitting sailboats for years and it is well known in the community that 5200 has fantastic sealing and ADHEASIVE properties. So when we want both, we use it with the caviat that we don't plan on taking the piece off again, because you will either destroy/damage the piece or what it is adheared to. I used plain old silicone on my '06 with satisfactory results. It is much cheaper. Black would be best because it won't discolor. I used clear because it was on the workbench. Now if I need to disassemble the windsheild or recaulk it will be easy. If you think you need adheasion and sealing, then I'd recommend 3M 101 caulk. It even works underwater like 5200, but has less adheasive properties. And at least you have some chance of taking things apart without damage. Hell, with 5200 you don't need a bracket and bolts... just let it cure and take the clamp off... it won't be going anywhere. Black silicone B) [/QUOTE]
