As for price, I think they are getting around £80 now for a set
Think i might look for an alternative then lol
Count yourselves lucky you can still get the parts. The cars went out of production over 20 years ago
^ True that
I thought I saw some on GTTurboSpares (but cannot get on right now!), about £38 if I remember rightly but looking at Bigfoots comment, this must be for one side.
Someone mentioned using some silicone stuff, instead of the rubber... I guess this would stick and be waterproof too. Patients is required if using this method and something to hold the side skirt on after applying the silicone (to get a seal)
I just got a set of side skirt clips (as my side shirts are falling off) and was going to try the silicone option! Will feedback if this works but will not be for some weeks yet
The gap in mine is huge.... maybe my sideskirts aren't fitted properly
I'll have a closer look when I get the car back
The bodywork has the clips on (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-5-...item5ad530aab2), the side slirt have these hooks (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-5-...item5ad52f3579) which go in to the clips on the bodywork.
Some d!ckhead thought it would be funny to rip out the rubber seals on both sides of my car. Skirts are now falling off as the above clips have rotted away. Also, the bottom of the side skirts are riveted, if you use a rivet gun to put them back on, you will probably crack the side skirt...
They are all present on mine as a couple fell off so I had to refit them, but there still seems to be a bit gap.
Maybe the clips need bending back into shape or something. I'll take the sideskirts off and have a proper look when I get chance. Car is at a workshop at the minute having some new crank bearings and thrust washers fitted
Does the arch just unclip from the front wing or is it bolted, also is this something I'd find in a Haynes manual
4 10mm nuts, and the 2 top 8mm ones
just read the full thread, how much for the skirt seals!! £11 a side only a few years ago!
mine just have a silicone bead, much neater
I looked about for new ones an came across a company called Seals+Direct Ltd
0845 226 3345 New Milton, Hants BH25 5LJ send them an inch long piece of any rubber seal an they will send you back a new piece which they might have on the shelf or what's available that's very very close an you just place an order for how much you need! I think I ordered 10meters delivered for about £23 all in 😊
Get some pics up when you receive it mate
That sounds great!
Let us know how you find their seals
Defo need the details for this company
Comes with the sticky strip, also the notches out for where the clips are
Damn - oh well il check anyway
There's a set just been listed on eBay.....
Warm them up with a hot air gun, use decent twin stick tape, and take yr time fitting them, there not hard to do, new or second hand.
