i do not like the trs sealent. used it on my subaru retros and it never gets hard and my fear is that if you get an extremely hot day you might see seperation of the lens and housing. the only reason i know my subaru lights wont fall apart is because they have clips holding the lens to the housing but for other housings im not sure.... just wish it got harder then it does. they dont seem to have any leaks though

yeah it seals well from what i have seen but i know some guys use actual window sealent. or oem headlight sealent which i think is the best thing you can do as it will harden when cold and soft when warm

iT works greatI just don't like how it stay soft.OEM sealants is from a dealer only or OEM supplier only

The trs stuff is basically butal sealent. Same stuff they use for glued in windows on cars.

I also agree with this statement. While it works great and all, its messy stuff to deal with (although I've rarely had to use it on any cobalt retrofits)

I always use extra sealer as I never wnat a set to leak. I don't respond on anything anymore. I don't like havingroom for error.

hopefully all of my parts will be in soon
