Should I be using some kind of glue? I feel like it should be a simple job but I just couldnt get my head around it!
I can't remember what glue I used though (and photos & documents for my car are a long way away!) but I'm pretty sure something like Loctite or Gorilla glue should work well. Make sure you get it right though as it won't be easy to get off again! It's probably also worth sanding down the top part of the skirts before applying the glue as well, just to give a nicely keyed surface. Measure up and test before applying glue - remember, measure twice, cut once!(Oh, it's simple but fiddly. If you can get another pair of hands to help, it'll make a massive difference!)
So would you glue both sides? Or just onto the top of the skirt?

(yep, probably worth reading them! 
). Some need applying to both mating surfaces and leaving for a minute before joining.ð¼ Cheers allTellso wrote:Sorry, meant stick it to the sideskirt and to the body of the car? I think I will do both
- No... Just to the top of the side skirt. The side skirt bolts onto the car; gluing the seal to the car means when you have to take the skirts off, the paint will come with it. It's only something like 5 bolts a side and a couple of screws. Of course, they're under the car and are mild steel so prone to rusting and shearing off, so I suggest spraying them with something to free off bolts the night before (I tend to spray copious amounts of shock and unlock) and then again before trying to remove (possibly also some lubricating spray at this point) to avoid shearing bolts.
