Any advice on what to use to re-bed Ser III front door fixed glass into new door top?  I went to local glazier for butyl mastic but he insisted that ordinary silicone would be better - I'm not so sure.  Nigel

hi nigel
i use black sekoflex [they used to use it for bonded windscreens] you can get it from gills motor factors its not that expensive . clean off xs with plastic catty spreader then use petrol on a clean cloth to finish it off and clean paintwork  , it will get everywhere  . hope this helps shug...

Thanks, Shug.  I'll check that out. N

When I did mine I just used foam type glazing strip (quite thick, adhesive on one side). I ran a wee bead of translucent silicone around too. Seemed to work fine.

According to this lot, Dum Dum putty is no longer available - but this would do the trick. http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-121-putty.aspx

Gosh, thanks, Kathy.  That looks really good, order placed.  You've literally just saved me a long trip to town this morning too.  I should have a happy navigator on Sunday.  Many thanks, Nigel.

You're very welcome, Nigel.
Of course, I should have mentioned that you can also reuse the original putty ... which is what I did after running out of Dum Dum.

You appear very resourceful, Kathy!  Woolies sent caulking and I received it this morning - excellent service.  Will brave the elements and get it fitted.  Thanks again, Nigel
