what should i use to SECURLY attach my sideskirts to the car? THe body shop recommended me to use 3m "heavy duty" double sided tape, but after three months or weather it crapped out on me. I am thinking about using some kind or glue/adhesive so that they will be pretty much permanantly attached to the car. I know that there are plenty of choices once i get into the autopart store but just wondering if you all WITH EXPERIENCE have any kind or recommendations.

The blue one on the right

Thanks!

Yeah the 3m tape should be fine, like mayhem I suspect you didn't have everything clean. 3m also makes a liquid trim adhesive you can try.

edit:

Why not? Thats how it usually comes from the factory.

ther are 2 screws on each end that holds them in. so 4 screws hold in each side skirt. This will be my third time adjusting them. Both times i used goo gone and cleaned the sides AT lease twice each. I am guessin it might be the weather? The weather in MD can vary ALOT. So anyway specific adhesive recommendations?

actually the ones from the factory are glued on also. what about using some epoxy? I never had any experience with epoxy so i am not sure what it is, it was recommened to me by a friend.

Use cooked rice. When it dries, its hard like cement, and will hold on there very tight.
