Check the price of a new one before splashing out on a 2nd hand one.

Lots of 2nd hand car bits being advertised for more than the dealers sell them new.

Everything new on a Jeep costs £350 drives you nuts. :rotfl:

I've found alradite doesn't stick well to the plastic washer bottles.
Silicone rubber works better, bridged across the hole, it may take several goes to completely build the hole over though.

Something we agree on.... But unfortunately whenever someone mentions using silicone rubber or silicone glue/adhesive, people go straight to a DIY store and buy cheap bath sealant :rotfl:

An excellent way to do this, would be silicone rubber/glue/adhesive and a small piece of thin plastic to use as a patch.

Dow corning do black silicone rubber (might be 791) for about £5 a tube. Ive sealed holes in exterior walls (where i've put cables through) and glued down/sealed parts of an old flat roof with this stuff, great as long as it doesn't get near your hands/clothes.
