i'm not sure if its the same stuff bally is on about...but the paint place i normally go to has stuff called 'silkaflex'....or black silicone mastic.

 

Its used to bond windscreens and i used to to put the sideskirts on my old polo.

VERY STRONG!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...ONLY USE A BIT HERE AND THERE...JUST A FEW DOTS WILL HOLD THEM ON.

 

obviously use masking tape to hold them in place, and it takes around 12hrs to set.

Its a rubbery sorta glue...so when the chassis flex's, your skirts should remain fine.

 

the place i go to is: Autopaint international.

They've got branches everywhere....just take a look in yellow pages and find spray paint dealers for cars...they do trade and public deals. Should cost around £6-8 per gun.

Have you considered nailing them on??? :twisted:

as for Jack, same problem with mine today, although the mechanic always carries two bits of wood in his van, drive onto them, then slip the jack under, far quicker than jacking up with the VW jack, then using the trolley.
