View Full Version : Trijicon RMR Type 2 "Seal Plate" # RM63 Necessary?
New Trijicon RMR Type 2 purchased 2018.
Any need for the "seal plate" p/n RM63? I believe this was a remedy for the type 1 that had the "flickering battery problem"?
Still water proof without? Or just do it for waterproof insurance as the cost is minimal.
New type 2 manual states it is "recommended". Left over from the type 1 solution?
What are your thoughts?
FWIW - Brownells RMR G19 Slide. Use the shorter screws that come with the slide?

It's recommended, and it's a $10 part on +/- $1200 pistol. Just get one, then you don't have to worry about it. My son's RM06 didn't fit right regarding screw length until the sealing plate was installed.
Oh, make sure you don't use a "long" screw on the Right side mounting hole, or it can bind the extractor plunger rod. (On a milled Glock slide. I dunno about the brownells version. )
Yeah thanks sir. Cheap part. Didn't know if the type 2 fixed the issue.
Appreciate your input. And thank you for the potential issue on the right side...

The flickering on the Type 1s has nothing to do with the sealing plate, AFAIK; more of an issue with the contacts, and the sealing plate gives you something to easily add a bit of Shoe Goo or whatever. The BattleWerx anti-flickering plate had a raised area to help with this, but they will **** up your contacts on the Type 2s. The waterproofness issue can easily be seen by looking at the mounting of your gun, and seeing if any of them are inside of the rubber gasket of the RMR.
Is the seal plate required for them to stand behind warranty work?
Trijicon won't pay for shipping if you need warranty work
The plate is $10
Just buy it
I've got mine
Also toyed with the idea of treating the electronics with corrosion X
People have done this to their cell phones and the waterproofing works
I have a plate installed on mine... 10 bucks seems like cheap insurance
Though it does seem trijicon is gouging
The tiny piece of stamped metal probably costs less than the packaging it comes in
Id guess about.50
For the amount of money they charge for the RMR
I'm pretty unhappy they don't include what is actually a necessary part
Agree that it should be included. It's on its way.
Thanks guys.

The sealing plate does just that, it seals the bottom of the optic when mounted on a slide or mount with thru holes. It has nothing to do with the battery contacts. The Type 2 doesn’t need the battlewerx plate and is not recommended. And yes, they are expensive for what they are.

Yup, I’d be in for two. I was super bummed to see that change wasn’t announced at shot.

I haven't had any issues with my RM06 Type-2 in auto-adjust. Always seems to be the right brightness and very quickly gets brighter when I light up my 600-lumen X300U against the white walls in my house.
It may not work as well at longer ranges or against walls that aren't white, but I don't think you'd need the sight to get that much brighter, anyway.

Fwiw, i carry my 06 in auto and havent had any issue either. It is at full brightness by the time i get it in line of sight- ive tried to beat if, but i cant.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I couldn't find anything using the search button. Do I need the sealing plate on a type 2 that will be sent to ATEI for a pro cut being milled on a Glock 19?
Thanks
The seal plate/"O" ring provides H2O proofing for the electronics/battery. While not necessary for function it's a good idea, particularly if you ever shoot in rain or it gets wet.
Thank you for the reply. There is nothing that I could see on their website about sending one in with your rmr, or purchasing one through them.
I’ve had 3 slides milled for RMRs.
The seal plate isn’t mandatory to send in for milling slide, the footprint is same as RMR base and it’s about a playing card thick.
If you don’t have one, I’d have slide milled without it and order plate while slide is at ‘smith’s.
