    im not sure,can you not see where the old sealant is?


    I will have a look tonight if it is not raining. Managed to pick up some clear sealant from halfrauds.

    P.S have you done the rear wiper mod yet...the 206 smooth rear wiper on the focus?

    Thanks

    maniac have you done the white fog light yet?
    i have,get a german (or similar foriegn) focus reverse light,fit a red bulb to it and put it where the red fog light is on the uk model car so that both bottom rear lights are white.
    in the uk left is reverse light and right is fog light,it is the opposite way around on the lhd models.
    even although mine is black this still looks a good mod,symetry and all that!

    I actually bought the Citreon C3 wiper from ebay as its easier to fit than the pug 206.

    Here is a pic of the C3 wiper here.

    Not done that yet... just installed the DEPOS, going to install the rear wiper blade tomorrow and finally install the GHIA wiper stalk:money:

    and the cheapest place to get one from......

    Ford dealer!
    as are the clear side repeaters in place of the orange on the mk1 Focus.
    Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!

    Or FordPartsUK/Ebay. If you get the clear side repeaters get silvertech bulbs to remove the fried egg effect.

    is the ghia wiper stalk a straight fit or do you need to fit any other parts like a different timer or relay?

    I made and many made money on side repeaters for the Focus - back in 2002 though so they may have caught up. I wanted a set for my Focus and bought 2 sets from Ford - put the other ones on Ebay and made a little profit off it. Ford recommended the correct bulbs and I bought those too at the same time.
