Title: side skirts
Post by: jay007 on 17 February 2007, 17:57

Please help!!!!!

I have just bought a pair of JOM side skirts for my mk 3 golf gti 2.0 16v and need to know how to fit them on.

Can I use the same screws as whats on the plastic skirts at the moment????? Also I have heard you need to use glue to fit them on and seal them???   If this is true, what glue do I use?????

Cheers

Jay

not sure what its called but you can get this black sort of glue which is really good for fitting body kits, not sure about the screws!  :smiley:

polyurethane sealant will hold sills no problem, just make sure you want them to stay on because it's strong stuff. The aluminium floor of my other car is held on with the stuff - the aluminium would rip before the sealant would let go. It stays flexible too so it will last.

A 310ml tube is around a tenner in a builders providers.
