Question

After replacing the standard Philips ICE in my car with some Alpine stuff, I needed to remove the CD Changer fitted under the passenger seat by the dealer.

After I removed the unit I noticed that they had used self-taping screws to secure the changer to the floorpan. Now that it's gone I have 4 screw holes in the bottom of the car.

Should I be worried about this? How can I seal the holes properly?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Silicone sealer will not stand the weathering under the car . Your best bet would be to use a windscreen type sealer in the holes and refit the screws back into the holes ( they'll be hidden by the seat ) .

Its a paste that you mix and basicaly it sets like steel, the makers claim you can grind it, drill it etc so its should be stronge enough.
