that bonded windscreen stuff would stick lightning to a greased ferret, might be worth a try

go to a windcreen fitting place and blag a tube of the stuff but it doesnt fit a standard silicone gun so you'll need to improvise.

They do fit as ive seen the catridges of it before :thumb:

ALTHO, even if they didnt, you can use the shaft of a hammer to force the contents out the cartridge ;)

It does indeed, my spoiler was fixed to the cav bootlid with sickaflex and when i had to get push started cos the battery was flat it came right off, now its been bonded back on with windscreen sealant and it aint going anywhere, nip in your local autoglass or national windscreens, whatever you have and see if they will do it for a few beer tokens for you:thumb:

we use seam sealer in work, tigerseal ect mines stuck on with the stuff really good, and keeps the water from sitting under it aswell

But from what im told it dont even fit anywhere near the boot on yours anyway!

Right so, this spoiler arrived today, an it has some threaded bolts set into it, so i can drill straight thru the boot & bolt it down (bonus)

So i guess the same kinda silkaflex/tigerseal stuff is good for use as a bonder ASWELL as nut/bolt affiar?

Jack

Yep. Plus it'll help to keep water from leaking in through the bolt holes.
