Im into good products: Sugru is a silicone product that remains semi rigid after (24 hr) curing. I suggest you do a youtube search for this great product! I used it to form a part on my throttle linkage, even fixed my beat up / torn door weather stripping. Im about to seal my back / side window rubbers (it's a wagon) to the glass with this stuff, so they wont allow my body panels to rust out from water leaks. Note: sugru is only good to 180 degrees, so be careful what you use it on.

Rescue tape (also know as Magic tape) is another great silicone product, a MUST in a vintage car, or ANY car toolbox. great for unexpected leaks, wiring insulation, exhaust leaks, sling for hurt arm after accident etc.........

neither one of these is affected by UV light, or just about anything else!

both products can be had on ebay.

Make note that the temp. range of this stuff is up to 180C equivalent to 356F which we "Yanks" are more accustomed to, so this expands the range considerably.
Just thought i would pass that along.Read the site on Sugru, very interesting stuff.
