Hi

Just wondered how you lot keep your wheel arch trims (rubber) between the body and arch. Mine falls out at the ends. Was thinking a blob of super glue maybe?


Thanks
Josh

Dont use it? I think it looks a lot cleaner and neater without it. I wouldnt superglue anything to the paintwork though.

I'd super glue it to the arch. And only a small blob.

Would it not chaff against the body without the rubber?

It's sports pack arches if that helps.

It should be fine without as the arch will move with the body if its secure.

Neoprene adhesive (evostik type). That can be cleaned off if it seeps out. Superglue is impossible to remove.

What rubber trim are you using?? The 'P' type or the 'U' type??

My mate had this trouble with the p type so he bought the u type and it's so much better
