Rain leaks in the back license plate cover on the back door of the van. I think I need to loosen the bolts holding it on and apply some sealant or caulking. What should I use?

Hello, I am Danny.

If you want to apply RTV(Room Temperature Vulcanization) type silicone I would suggest using the Permatex brand clear RTV (picture attached). It comes in a tube and costs around $10.00 at any local auto parts store or hardware store. It would be fully cured in about twenty four hours. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
