Hi there

I used automotive sikaflex, you can get it from bunnings it is safe for sensors, from memory it is black "tube" has a pic or a red car on it. Not cheap but good stuff.

A lot of them will say if they are sensor safe.

Hi. I use to use sikaflex years ago to reattach the lower sill trims to my vnss i forgot all about that stuff. Yep its costly but it works gr8
Thanks for the memory recall

Yes Sikaflex is the go , or soudal T-rex is what i just used for my snorkel

Just read the label it will clearly state if its sensor safe and will be reflected in the price tag

If this is the stuff your referring to it hasn’t got it written on it that its sensor safe from memory so its up to you.. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...id=11079#Cross

When I refit mine as I didn’t trust Nissan to seal it up correctly i used this stuff http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...om=51001#Cross

The Sikaflex 227 is Sensor safe, just to confirm, i had it sealing my Snorkel for over 12 months it works well.

The Sikaflex creates a stronger joint/bond than the ultra blue, i prefer a strong glue for sealing a snorkel, the ultra blue is good for gaskets etc, but sika is good for sticking stuff together you dont want to come apart !
