Wheel Arch

Guys my left front wheel arch is coming off, what is the best thing to use to bond it back on. People have said silicon but that lasts ten minutes.
Cheers

Do you mean the black plastic trim? If so depends why its coming off - because its broken or because wing is rusty?

Its come off because the car was too low so the wheel kept rubbing it, now i have raised it but its still hanging loose, so need to fix it back on

It's originally screwed to the arch, so if the holes in the arch haven't rusted then you could use those.

Most likely they will have rusted away, so you can either drill some new ones (I wouldn't personally) or remove the arch spat and repair the metalwork underneath first, then screw it on properly.

Do you have any pics to hand?
