Thanks to all who replied.

I was able to get a 1.75 kilogramme (ie large) tub of Dum Dum at Brown 
Brothers. Unfortunately they only had large tubs but when I told  the chap 
behind the counter that I only needed enough for 1 car he gave me a generous 
discount. So as I now have enough left for about fifty cars if anybody else 
needs any let me know and they can have some  for the cost of postage.

Hi Andrew
Well you can't use silicone seal in there. It needs a material that the 
trade
sometimes call DumDum.
I guess you can find it at Brown Brothers, or there is a product called 
bolted
panel sealer you can form into a sealing strip. The building trade use the
stuff as well, calling it Pre formed mastic sealing strip. don't use 
Plumbers
mate however, too weak and sticky.
I had the same problem finding something to use under the capping trim on 
top
of the screen.
Let us know what you used.
