Problem with fitting rubber side trim.PLEASE HELP

[Tom_]

I have a problem with fitting the rear rubber side trim,because of loosing the "nipples" when i get to repair rust side.How do you solve this problem?I used a pattex super fix tape,but i think,that after time and after washing,heat,cold,salt it takes off.So now,i am very depressed....

these nipples i missed

now it looks

I did it this way,but i dont trust,that it takes longer than 1 month


Do You have experience with that?

Thanks a lot,guys....

The only thing I can think of, is to drill then rivit or self tapping screw the plastic clips in place - be sure to think about adequate rustproofing though

I dont drill into repaired body ,its gonna get rusty when i do that and after fer years i can repaired too so anything else?I am thinking about your idea early...

These aren't the little T-bolts or the plastic moulding clips are they? Parts N 014 032 3 and 443 853 909A ?

If so i have tonnes of them after seriously over-ordering a few years ago!

Brilliant stuff, use it everyday at work. Sticks like poo to bedding and set's flexible.

so after using a tiger seal,it fits ok,but after 4-5 days,it takes slowly down, any ideas? I think,that the seal cant hold that power,and step by step it slowly detached

[Tom_]

no ideas?Thx

Problem is with PU adhesives such as the Tiger seal is that it can bind well but on the whole it doesn't want to stick to many things.

Windscreens are bonded in with PU but the frame and glass both have primers attached to make the PU stick. What you could do is buy a primer that works with the Tiger seal or get some Teroson 9220, this is an MS product and doesn't need any priming. It's designed to hold body kits etc on.

What you need is to get some IPA wipes or prepaint to get rid of the grease and wax.

I would recommend you tape it in position for a while to ensure positioning for the first 24hours especially if its cold where you are.

Tiger sticks good, but when u fit rubber trim,it have a force,wich want to gett of the body, if u understand me . The clips very slowly fall from the sealant...


U think this product?

I guess that is the same as a tiger....
