WW Side Skirts coming off :/

The little stickie things that hold on underneath the door seem to be loosening, so the body kit is pulling away from the car. Of course it's not falling off, cuz it's screwed too...anyone have a solution to this?

Yeah remove your sideskirts. THEN make sure you remove all of the current "STICKY THINGS" from your sideskirt and car. And clean it well. Then go and get yourself some more STICKY THINGS at a hardware store. It's 3M double sided tape, heavy duty or somethin' I think. It's gray. You should be ok. If you have trouble removing the gunk from your actual car (which I doubt) you can try GOO GONE or mineral spirits. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Just like SpdRcrChk said. 3M also makes a product called 'adhesion promotor', but i cant remember the number right now. You can get it in little packets with a sponge to apply it, but it may be hard to find. Call some automotive paint supply stores. You wipe down both surfaces with it before sticking the tape to it. It makes the 3M foam tape stick REAL well. Oh, and if you do have trouble getting the existing tape off with chemicals, you will have to RUB it off with your thumb.
