Seal those windshield post holes

[Mark K]

Title sounds obvious, but I never got around to doing it. That is, until my horn started blaring while washing the car. The relay box from the donor was soaked. Luckily the fuse box didn't get water in it.

Just a friendly heads-up.

This is what I used since it won't hurt the paint; however, lacquer paints may be impacted.

This issue is exactly why I moved my fuse block to the passenger side of the car.

I used a marine grade flexible caulk on the bottom side. Not a drop on my leg.

Same as Steno, I have had a blob of "dumdum" in my tool box for years and crammed some in from underneath (both sides).

nd before you seal make sure there is clearance so the post doesn't touch the fiberglass. It makes a real annoying squeak.
