Sealing waist trims - how?
Well it appears I have a boot water ingress issue from one of the waist trim clips/fixings.
What is the best way to go about resolving this please? I figured there must be a better way than simply spodging silicone around the fixings... Ta in advance

Nope, silicone is the answer.
Originally the trim clips came with tiny foam seals, but they no longer come with the seals. So silicone is the answer. |

Cheers Rich
Just splodge some around or is it worth removing the trims first? If so how do they come off? Just seems a bit if a bodge, don't really want moisture trapped around the fixings. Thanks again!

It is best to remove the trim in my eyes. But the clips are £15 for 10.
