Hi, Folks , I am about to fix a Perspex strip on rear hatch, does anyone know whether I should use mastic all around edge and some in middle ! Or is this not needed just bolts and clips !

 

Just had a close look at a 1996 model with Perspex strip and it looks like it has a rubber seal around it !

would anyone know part number for that ? And where to buy.

Not available separately.

I personally wouldn't use a mastic seal. There are clips that slide into the back which secure through screws through the boot lid.

Thanks will try with clips and bolts and keep an eye to any water ingress.

I'd personally order a new one so that you have the seal, all the fixings - everything you need. They're not particularly expensive, about £150 from memory although they don't travel well so you'd be best collecting from whichever vendor you chose.

Yup - what he said.... ? 

The only seal is the gasket around the light fitment, the rest is just the perpex mould against the body.
