    Be careful with using silicone!!

    It contains salt and will rot the metal very quickly

    Friend used it to fill a couple of hole in the roof of his T4 and its worse now than before he filled the holes....
    (it was meant to be temporary)

    Holes in the roof? If they were rust-edged already no wonder they got worse, the silicon would have sealed in that Mancunian moisture.

    I might give it a squirt of fish oil first, then wipe over with silicone - I just dont want to encourage rust.
