take them off, get a tube of sikaflex and bond them back on

Might be worth adding that you'll still be able to remove them with sikaflex - it's a flexible adhesive.

 

[kiza1986]

Ok cheers lads...Any recomended places to get it from???

Kiza

 

[Rip3z]

Some body shops sell it, or the internet?

Halfords/DIY stores don't sell it.

dunno what ya mean, you maybe thinkin of a different thing to me but if they sikaflex the mouldings on, i can stand on them and hold onto the roof and they wont budge, and ima fat b*****d.

only way to remove sikaflex is to cut it away. you wont be able to take off the bumpstrips again without hassle, BUT you certainly wont get any more rattles from em.

dont listen to rip3z, hes a jabberwock

Yes don't listen to me I'm a jabberwock.

Must be thinking of a different thing for sure lol - I thought sikaflex was very similar to the stuff used to hold the door cards on in the mk1's.

In that case - I have a question! What's the product that holds the door cards on in mk1's Mr PieEater sir?

I want some of it and was told it's called sikaflex lol - good job I haven't bought any yet.

 

[Final Maxim]

you can use sikaflex for that, thats what most bodyshops use, the proper stuff i have no idea, its from manufacturer but definatly aint sikaflex

 

[Justin_16vT]

man if it was sika, you'd never get erm off easily , i used that stuff to seal windows on cruise liners


dont get it on your hands either, its a b**ch to get off without solvent

he speaks the truth, even when youve soaked your hands with thinners and rubbed them to f**k with soap and scrubbin brush, itll stay there for days lol

great for leaking sunroofs though ps the frame not the glass

Hi. You could try some sound deadening stuff like this:

Cut it to size and then stick it on between the clips on your bump strips. Just a thought... it worked on my rear speaker grilles, stopped them from rattling when they are turned up.

 

[kiza1986]

O right cheers mate...think i will give them both a go...the dynamat stuff first being as the sikaflex is so strong

just thought about this n instead of spending money..

try taking off the mouldings and roll up some bubble wrap and poke it inside, tape it down so the bubble wrap is excess slightly, so when you push the moulding back on, itll need a decent push, but the air bubbles should stop it from rattling.

so yea.. bubblewrap!

 

[kiza1986]

Good idea mate dunno why i didnt think of that myself...cheers will give it a go...
