i had mine replaced then i drilled a hole from the inside of the car, pumped full of waxoyl with the thin pipe included in the kit to get all over the sills,

when it ran out of the squares i moved across until all was done the rubber bunged toe hole drilled! shall redo every 6months or so and should last a long time!

That exactly what I'm going to do but I'm going to thin the waxoyl with old engine oyl. I have over sills fitted to mine, if I do this and drill vent holes will they still be as bad as everyone makes out?

Do the sills not have drain holes / Slots in that are supposed to allow water to drain out, if therese are blocked with the expanding foam where does the water go?

Cheers

i know which does help bit but im guesing theres a fair bit of diffrence between the types of foam and the pressure its injected at and what happens when the foam degrades?
