Dude, I bought two other things from China, and they came around the same time, this last thing I bought, its been a while, it may come today or tomorrow though. I'll have to think twice before I make purchases from China.

They're always cheaper, but take a while to ship. If it's something you can afford to wait for, then it's usually a good deal. If it's something you need in a more timely manner, then you will have to look somewhere else.

Yeah... well i checked tracking, its in my city, i just havent gotten it yet. Ah dude, thinking of usps, I bought lug nuts and a stillen license plate holder, and these guys delivered it to the wrong address, but the mail man doesnt remember which house he delivered it to, so it looks like I got screwed.

oh hey you posted that in between me reading responses and posting

No problem man, we appreciate and welcome any advice we can get! Are you going to be there to help us out?

The reasoning behind getting the rubber butyl sealant (which might be more expensive) is that it isn't permanent and it's the same one used by the factory. Don't want to use something permanent in case we have to open the lights back up agian. Clear sounds like a good idea, but I didn't see any on amazon, so I'll have to go back and look again.

Do you know of any other type of sealant that isn't permanent?

You dont wanna stick with the Rubber Butyl?

It's fine with me, but if we can find something that will work the same and is cheaper + easier to find in store, then why not?

eastwest2300 · 08-23-2012, 10:20 PM

I wouldnt chance it, if the dealership uses it, thats what I'd use. Just my opinion.

dmhenderson · 08-23-2012, 10:53 PM

^^^

Use whatever the dealership uses please. Can you ask your guy who works for nissan what sealant they use?

eastwest2300 · 08-24-2012, 12:13 AM

If anything, I'd rather spend a few more dollars on something at or better than what the dealership uses, I for one, DO NOT want any condensation after the fact.

dmhenderson · 08-24-2012, 06:02 AM
