Sikaflex 221,252 or 521?

[Alied]

As per thread title I need to attach some awning rail end caps to my vehicle. Can anyone recommend the right Sikaflex to use please?

 

[Loz]

Outside I use 521

Agree 521. Note - Very sticky before it sets.

Mask up the areas you don’t want to get the Sika product on, it sticks like sh*t to a blanket

Heat up the cartridge in tub of hot water before using it, to allow the product to be applied easier. (It is not very viscous in the tube unless it is warmed)

I just used a clear silicone bathroom sealant. Worked fine.

Buy some Sika remover at the same time, you can then easily the remove any residue with a cloth before it dries.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Same here

I agree with everyone, unless you already have some Sikaflex
knocking around, i would use a bit of silicone, it only
needs a gnats chuff on the end cap to hold it in place.

Hi @Alied where did you buy the end caps from? I know people say main dealership but that is over 60 miles each way. Thank you

Which side do you need? I have a passenger side one that I won’t need.

 

[TheCornishNinja]

Yes it is a passenger side I need! Did you want to message me details/cost etc
Thank you

If you PM me your address you can have it.
It should only need Large Letter postage so if you drop a couple of quid in a charity tin that will be fine.

Sorry for the late reply but I bought mine from the dealer. You could try https://www.lllparts.co.uk. Although the carriage would be quite a few pounds it's cheaper than a 120 mile round trip. The rear end caps are number 32 in this picture.
