Question Windscreen bonding..?

Where's the best place to get a tube of windscreen adhesive that the fitters use..?

Looking to fit an 05> rear diffuser and I'm considering bonding the front brackets instead of drilling the spare wheel well.. Rear bracket will be bolted in place as normal, so a good bond at the front should be more than adequate..

I do have a tube of Tigerseal, but someone on here recommended that windscreen bonding would be better..

Thoughts..?

Question

Got a windscreen repair depot nearby? Try Yell.com the UK's local search engine - search for UK businesses.

They'll either sell you a tube, or give you a dollop

The windscreen guys throw it away after they've used some of it, even if there is loads left. Probably as a precaution, in case a screen doesn't bond so well if its an old tube.

Good idea..

When I recently had my screen replaced they used battery operated guns with a different cartridge (looked foil wrapped).
