What the best way to attach side skirts?
I'm just worried about cracking and spliting the new ones by screwing them on....

Thanks

if your going to screw anything down, start with a drilled pilot hole

Drive the car to a professional body shop with the bits in the back and then pick it up the next day with them fitted:)

Works for me everytime:innocent:

Modern adhesives are exceptionally good, if you start drilling 1/8 holes for self tapping screws expect them to be 1/2 in holes through corrosion quite soon :)

Personally I think side skirts are best attached to a concrete block and given a flotation test :)

How about small plastic rings with little hooks on?

Worked a treat on our living room curtains!!

You would Chris!!! :p

I have some of these strong adhesive mounting pads fitted to mine at the edges, but they've come apart. Any ideas where I can get these online - I've checked ebay, but no luck there and done a quick googler.

Mine are a pretty poor fit actually. :innocent:
