so i have the MS body-kit and my passenger side, side skirt is kind of peeling off i think it should be an easy fix but does anyone no how to. the screws are on but its the double sided tape in the very back of the skirt where it rises and thats were it peels off. what do i do? can i take it all off and just retape it all or what? and were would i get the double sided tape for body-kits. thanks for the answers.

 

I dont know how bad is your situation but retape them all is a good idea since side skirt will start to rise more overtime.

Try 3M Acrylic Foam Tapes. They are very strong. You can find them in any AutoZone, Kragen or Pep Boys.

 

+1 for the 3M tapes.

To remove the side skirt, take a piece of fishing line or strong dental floss, tie some knots in it about one inch apart (you are making 'teeth') - saw and pull along to split the old tape.

To remove residue from the old adhesive from the skirt and the body, the easiest way is to use a 3M "Stripe - Off" wheel in a cordless drill. Otherwise, there is a 3M Citrus-Based cleaner which works quite well. Or whatever your body shop supply recommends for plastic parts. Then use a nylon (soft) blade to remove the goo.

Clean with alcohol (not good Scotch!!!), or body prep solvent.

Apply the new tape first to the skirt, then press the part in place.

Note: Best results will be doing all of the above at room temperature. (Well ventilated if you are using solvents).

You can get all of this stuff from a good parts store, or a body and paint supply store (yellow pages).

Good luck!

 

wow thanks for the help guys. looks like i do have a little project this weekend lol.

 

Good advice, I had a problem once when I did it night time.
Look great in cool day, showing a gap hot day.
I had to redo it with some heat from hair dryer.

 

think i might have to do this when i get home, good work

 

make sure your surface is nice and clean, free of wax and dirt. That will help bond your tape better. good luck!
