Attaching Plastic Arches with no screws
Following a bodywork renovation it had new wings, rear arches etc.
I want to attach the plastic arches without drilling arches etc, could I use silicon?
Does anyone have a tried and tested method?
Cheers
MAX

You can get it from lots of places so search online and lots of info etc on it.

I would use some sort of screws so if you want to remove the trim at a later date to clean and waxoily the arches it's a lot easier.
I would not use silicone as it usually fails after a year or so.
