well what i thought would be easy as turned into a right job :sad2:, got all the new metal clips rest the skirt on them fine but wen i push it onto sill to bolt them on either the clips drop off or skirt pulls off, was thinkin of bondin them on, anyone got any ideas???

I just tiger sealed (bonded) them on, never had a problem doing it this way it's a bit of a bodge to fair but it works a treat!:)

gonna have to do the same i think, was at hours and didnt get anywere, you still leave the clips on to hold the skirt in place though ?

I just used a blob of tiger seal on each on of the lugs on the side skirt itself and a few 6 inch beads along the bottom, place it up against the sill then hold in place overnight with masking tape. ;)

What way up do you have the clips?
The tabs on the skirt push in between the clip and the sill, not just resting on it, if you get me.

I think scratchers right and you have the clips on upside down, I did this first time round and wondered why the clips kept falling off. :laugh:
