Mantec Snorkel Installation Question.
About to install the snorkel. Two question.

1. Does the bracket sitting in A Position or B position.

2. The drilling on the windscreen frame, will it leaks? I don’t see any gasket provided. Or should I add some dumdum or silicon at the back of it to prevent leaks.

Thanks.

Why not bond the windscreen frame bracket on? Mine has been on a long time and no problems.
So did a previous member here years ago with no issues, it's a bit of of a faff but avoids drilling the frame. KEEP CALM AND Drill ON

I put silicon on the A Pillar bracket, and on the bracket on the air vent, if you want it water tight.
