Help Rear Side Flares
Install some OEM Rear Side Flares this weekend, if I knew they were such pigs to install never would have done it. Is there any product that will keep the nose of these flares stuck to the car tried removing and re-taping already. see pic
Thanks in advance!

Those are the side flares. The rear flares go behind the rear wheels on the bumper.
My side flares do the same thing but not quite as bad. More double sided stick tape? Try to heat the flare up to mold it? Maybe some clear silicone sealant if nothing else works to keep crap out.

After doing the same mod a few weeks ago, I hate to ask this but did you hit the drill marks perfectly?
My right side flare is doing the same thing and I am sure that the holes on that side are a little off.
Also how are you mounting the flares? There is a trick to it, otherwise you will lose your mind.

I'm searching a sealer/adhesive for automotive use,with no luck. As some of the tape not holding all that well either, even after heating and new tape on one side. With all the holes we've drilled I'll have to repaint the rocker panels if I ever decide to take them off. So I want to really stick them on!
Next stop a body shop! Just can't stand to look at them (more money)(really picky when it comes to my 8)
Cheers

suggestion for ya just use the bottom clips that originally held the rock guard on 1 screw in the back and 1 screw in the wheel well then use the 3m adhesive make sure you COMPLETELY remove the old adhesive and clean the rocker very well i used alcohol. if you are using the clips on the back of the skirt and they are not lined up PERFECTLY the areo flares will buckle a little bit and pull away from the body. NO MORE DRILLING!!!!!!!!! i havent had any problems with the ones i put on that way
