My sides are coming off!

[cyclo]

Hey all!
So I have these Sportec side skirts on my B6 and they look great except for the front edge of it which doesn't sit flush with the fender. It sticks out by about 3/4 of an inch. There's not enough meat on the end inside the wheel well to pop a screw in. I was thinking maybe there's some good adhesive I can shoot in the gap (if I can pull it away) that would have the strength to make it sit flush (because it likes flexing out) that wouldn't kill the skirt or whatever it attaches to if I ever decide to take them off.

Any ideas?

...meat? Is that a factory option?

no silly rabbit!
I meant there's room to pop a screw in there but there's so little material to screw into I'm afraid of splitting and cracking.

Betalink maybe?... Its a strong adhesive used for roof spoilers and what not.

[inaforest]

I know!

I think betalink is a good choice.

I'll check it out guys, thanks. Is it the kind of thing I can get at a good hardware store? Does hold up well when it's wet out?

here's an idea...just sell me ur side skirts!! I will take them. I will give you some money so that you can buy a better pair...maybe something that has more "meat" on them but seriously, I want to buy them. You got PM

You can get betalink from you local BMW dealer's parts department.

Also checkout this thread... this guys wrote a DIY for installing a rear spoiler w/ betalink. Might give you a good idea how to work with the stuff. It sounds messy but strong.

or drill and zip tie would at least be removable

ok, so with this Betalink...will it ruin the sides if I decide to take em off later and possibly sell them?
