ive got a old polo with the rubbered in screen, its started to leak a tiny bit and to be fair i cant be done with the expense of screen out to investigate( assuming its a rust hole but could be a tired rubber?)

id like to run a bead of sealer round the rubber to try and stop it...would the non hardening screen sealer be the one for the job?

or should i try the permanent pu sealer like tiger seal in the hope that it will stick really well as long as it never needs to come out

Try captain Tollets creping crack cure. No really! It is available from chandlers yards and boating type places. it is well know in classic car circles and works.

v8man I hold you entirely responsible for the tea which has just exited my nose all over my two week old Dell. Creeping crack cure indeed !

hmm really ?

is it suitably thick enough to sort any small pinholes that maybe lurking?
