ASemper Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey guys, reckon some 3M tape would be sufficient to secure these safely? If so it saves me going OTT with Tigerseal 😈 Cheers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Some will say that the tape is fine but tiger seal etc etc will be better long term 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tigerseal always. You don't want those flying off at speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Mine are 3M'd on and are fine. Tigerseal is good but what if you want to get them off again in the future!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wood screws - won't fly off but you can take them off later if you change you mind win, win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Mine are 3M'd on and are fine. Tigerseal is good but what if you want to get them off again in the future!? You can still get them off, it's just harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still get them off, it's just harder. Tigerseal is great but when I bought my secondhand rear louvre it came with the rear window attached to it bonded with the stuff. It was easier to break the window and mechanically remove the sealant than trying to cut it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 My bodyshop guy got a colleague to vinyl wrap the window then sikaflex them on to the vinyl, in theory, protecting the quarter window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 What's to stop the vinyl peeling off? Seems like you are adding a weakness that defeats the point of using Sikaflex in the first place and you may as well just use 3M tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 My bodyshop guy got a colleague to vinyl wrap the window then sikaflex them on to the vinyl, in theory, protecting the quarter window. That's a genius idea! Never thought of doing that, brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you are adding a weakness that defeats the point of using Sikaflex in the first place and you may as well just use 3M tape? The guy has been sticking things to cars for 20 years, I toook his advice, miraculously they stayed stuck for over 20,000 miles and were as secure they day I sold it as they were the day they went on, 2 years prior. How many google search results do you have for correctly applied sheet of vinyl blows off vehicle? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get mine painted soon and wanting it close to the roof spoiler and sideskirts colour. Is there a paint code or that. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 OK guys enough is enough. We have multiple threads ruined now with pointless arguments which serve no purpose other than one upman-ship. It is getting very tiring and the team won't put up with it anymore, its frustrating members so it stops now or the team will stop it. Last chance. In the meantime yet another thread will have to be locked so it can be tidied up. I suggest going forward if you request advice and dont like the replies rather than rise to the bait and start a pointless argument let it go, the advice is not going to change and the only outcome is to wind up people who are genuinely interested in a solution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
