What you guys think?>

 

 

I'll be interested to see how it works!

 

Thank you! He will drive the car in the morning and will perform lots of U-Turns to really work the Flex Seal.:laugh:

 

Definitely in for results! Hard to imagine it holding up but Flex Seal is no joke.

My buddy has used Flex Seal up in the Rain Gutters around his house and told me how they sealed the leaks where the 90 degree bends! After 15+ years the sealer that the Rain Gutter contractor used becomes brittle and ineffective and then, they leak like if the track is full of leaves when in FACT it's the sealer that no longer is stopping water from leaking at this bend.

The Flex Seal has not only stopped the leaking but, it just withstood 100+ MPH Hurricane Winds from Irma!:surprise:

Enough said!:wink:

I think it's certainly worth a try and a novel idea. I'd be interested in the results too.
Tho,when I saw this thread, I thought you were probably using the paint on liquid they've been advertising.
I hope it works out.

 

Are you secretly Phil Swift?!

Don't even know the guy?:nerd:

I am another doubting Tomas like the rest around here but, unlike those others, I am OPEN to new IDEAS and especially throwing out a Perfectly functioning CV Axle just because a little crack has formed at the outer boot.

The idea at first was a little far off but, thought of it and said, WHY NOT?0

 

1. It's more like $65 plus tax and assuming DIY.
2. If you take it to any Pro Shop it's more like $150 Each side.
3. Like I posted, we are just curious.

It worked great in the trunk on a 2003 Avalon. I fixed the leak about 2 years ago, and it is still dry as a bone in the trunk.

 

 

Man that guy must be rich.

 

Woo doggie!

 

Survived Hurricane Irma! Please be nice!

A kind message......................please...................:x

 

I always wondered how well this would work. Granted usually these on seen tv doesn't ish this might be promising lol. How runny is this product?

That's right your in Florida. How was the crazyness down there?

 

That's for asking about our recent experience with that Super Large Hurricane, Irma! After the storm, it has been pretty miserable for those that still do NOT have any Power nor Water! Can you imagine not being able to live with AC at the house nor running water that you can trust?:crying: I was very fortunate that my house never lost POWER, only three flickers and one solid TV Power Down but, POWER came back for me in seconds.:laugh:

The Flex Seal is not runny at all. My buddy sprayed some product on a card board box and you could scoop it up with that foam painter's brush.

:grin:

 

yeah, i wonder how many years it holds as it hasn't been on the market long.

Hum, it's relatively new but, not that new.:wink:

I just bought a can with the White Color so, I can spray the inside of my House Gutters to seal them at the 90 degree angle joints.:laugh:

 

It works!

UPDATE!

Okay, my buddy's 1994 Toyota Camry SE has undergone a little over 2,000 miles with the FLEX SEAL and recall that we had almost FREEZING Temperatures just last week and he took this picture and forwarded to me just yesterday!

Behold that this FLEX SEAL does work!

 

Interesting but I too wonder how well the Flex Seal can hold up. The boot will flex and stretch a lot if the suspension goes through the travels, and Flex Seal doesn't say how much elongation it can withstand.

 

I think as long as the surface is as clean as it can be and then this is spray, it could help it last longer.

In my 2004 XLEV6, By inner boot tore after hitting a massive pothole that blew the driver tire out. Shoe glue worked for a few months....but it's kinda leaking now.

Just gonna run this CV axle until it needs to be replaced...

I wouldn't do that. OEM axles last forever with proper care. Aftermarket axles aren't nearly as good quality. Always better to repair a boot than to buy a new, inferior axle.

 

I am everywhere always lol I like to diversify sometimes.

How come it's so difficult? I did an inner boot on the MR2 Spyder, it was very easy. Left the axle stub in the trans, just removed the hub side, cut the clamps, and the axle split apart. Installed a new boot, filled it with new grease (OEM boots come with a tube of grease and all clamps), and put it back in the hub. Of course I did it from the bottom.

 

Haha. I try to go over to the Corolla forums once in a while, but I don't have Corolla yet so I'm usually in the Camry side. Got too much cars already.

I wasn't aware it could be done that way. Is there something you followed online? I was under the impression that any sort of CV boot repairs usually had to be done with the axle completely removed from the car. Maybe the inner side is easier?

 

Guys!

Thanks so much for ALL of your posts and thoughts.

This thread's main goal, if you take the challenge "is" simple that this product works for Automotive and as an example an Axle Boot that spins and flexes!

No one is saying NOT to replace the Entire Axle or rebuilt should you feel more comfortable in going that ROUTE!

Thank you for your understanding!
Carlos

 

"is"

(Obscure enough joke? :milkcarton

Glad to see it working so far, I'm still ancy but I bet you'll have an update for us again several months/thousands of miles down the road

 

I don't know if you guys have seen the video that made Flex famous!

Not to derail. I'm glad it worked out!
