Hi,
I had a Safari Snorkel fitted by Westside 4x4 at Sumner ages ago. I never gave it much thought as it was professionally fitted.
I had a look at the air box today and noticed there was a load of silicone or similar plastered around where the airbox connected into the inner wing and into the snorkel sections in the wing. see the pic.
The silicone was dried and cracked up. A wiggle of the airbox showed how it can move on its mounts where as the connection in the wing is fixed. I'd imagine the box vibrates with road vibrations and cracked the old silicone.
Is this how the snorkel seals and is mine currently not sealed.
I'm taking it back to Westside 4x4 this week for them to have a look.
