Thank you for the in depth repair guide. This job has been on the to do list for a while. I made a waterproof cover for the roof to stop warter getting in to the car as a temperory fix.

I have another question where did you get the Sikaflex 223 I can't seem to find it here.

[@jeremycronk4725]

It doesn't look like they sell Sikaflex 223 in the states! It must work really well! Anything that works well they ensure we don't have it here! I'm going to have to find some other adhesive that most likely will not hold well. Wish me luck!

You also have some good stuff in the US. Look for a PU based glue for various materials.

Thank you for the video!! Just have a quick question…Is there a hose or something that connects the gutter with the drain “trays”? Or the piece just sits over them and lets gravity do the rest?

[@brauschau]

Just gravity, no hoses

Thanks for your help!!!

I've been looking for a good DIY for this repair for a while, thank you! One question, how did you get the headrest out of the top of the seat? I've tried but didn't want to go crazy on it and break something. I'm too tall to be working around them and the roll over hoops.

[@brauschau]

Un-clips the cap and then remove the spring by pulling it to the front. Then you get the headrest out.

[@jeremycronk4725]

@@brauschau if you get time as I see you are very busy I would like to see a video on how you removed the headrest.

[@brauschau]

Just seen your request. Here’s the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXUln57ibSAgbc

Would Sikaflex 221 be a good substitute?

[@brauschau]

It seems that the 223 is a little more capable of taking weather and outdoor conditions. It also seems that the 223 is a little more flexible. Does it mean the 221 doesn’t work? I don’t think so. Both are very powerful poly-urethane, one component-glues that stick to most surfaces. As the gutter connection is not subject to a lot of flex and movement, the 221 also just be fine.

@@brauschau thanks. Great video and I have the weekend to do this task.
