any panel bond......windscreen sealer if you really dont want it to come off!

Wriggley's Extra - works a treat!

B&Q also sell velcro so you can take them off easily too.

Just use a black silicone sealant

long that take to bond? i used windscreen sealer to put doorstrips on and wasn't up to much..

Not long. Couple of hours. It's hard to beat for a bit of bondage!

so just leave it for couple hours with something wedged against it for it to stick aye?

Tiger seal - hold it in place for a few mins then tape it in place with some masking tape.
ideally leave it overnight.

Gripfill!! End of! Will never come off.

Yep. I've used it on loads of panels. Better job than gripfil IMO.

Only you will know who I mean here, but Tiny gripfilled the numberplate onto the back of my Misses old focus when it fell off lol Think his shocks were held in with it on his old BM too.

Gripfill FTW lol

You didnt use the windscreen bond correctly then as when its used right the stuff is never coming apart. The windscreen in cars are part of the structural rigidity and so the sealer holding them in has to be up to the task, my guess is you tried to use too much.

skirts

same as above you must prime it first once this is done then nothing will take off windscreen bond. you can buy it in motorfactors or a boat shop. best to get sika

Using tiger seal, if you want to take them off again they will either break into bits or take paint off.

Best thing is double sided sticky pads/stripes. Strong enough to hold it on and keeps it even the whole way across where as tiger seal etc it wont sit even the whole way across
