I need some bodywork advice
Thursday, August 07, 2008 5:37 PM
I've got a problem with the stock sideskirts on my '04 Cav. I dunno what happened to them (previous owner) but some of the little plastic L shaped tabs on the inside that hold it onto the rocker panel are broken on one end and I was just wondering if anyone knows what I can use to basically bond plastic to plastic. Preferably something I dont have to go to a super specialty shop to get if possible. I have tried the 2 part syringe looking stuff that is supposed to do this but it only lasted a day and came off again. If anyone wants a pic I can get one to explain better my situation.

3M makes a line of products called SpeedGrip..I use it for all sorts of things...they have several formulas and I'm pretty sure there is one make for plastic to plastic. I used a speedgrip metal-fiberglass epoxy and after 4 years on the car it was still strong enough to give me problems when I went to remove the skirts lol. Great stuff, it's about $30 but well worth it. You can pick it up at most any paint/body supply place.

Post a pic up. Some parts are hard to tell what to do with out actually seeing what it is.

Ok I grabbed a couple pics tonight. Obviously they are still on the car cause they suck to take off. But in the second pic you can see the 2 tabs just chillin there not attached to anything. One side looks worse than the other so I took pics of the bad one only:



Awaiting the guru advice.
