aftermarket sideskirts

Postby trdtrueno » Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:52 pm

hi every one....i have bought some sideskirts of tardme not so long ago...some nice ones and there appears to be some kind of seal on the edges where it joins to the rest of the car....(where not bolted on) was just wondering what it could be?? i have a few ideas but could be completely wrong..i was thinking silicone joiner or sellys all clear??? really got no idea. if anyone has a clue what im talking about or know what i need, then thatd be really appreciated..

Cheers

all clear is probably alright but the black/gray stuff that they use to glue the windscreen in , another tip i recommend you mask the edge as as this sh*t goes everywhere

my sideskirts came with a tube of sikaflex?
When in doubt, down and out.

You're talking about the gaps on the top? im not sure how well plain silicone will last (only times ive seen it, it didnt do a good job) but sika have a good multi-purpose modified silicone sealer product - silaflex ms, every carters should have it for around $25 a tube.
