The genuine Zender skirts need 2 bolts through the front edge and 2 through the rear edge into the bodywork.

We then used panel seal along the top edge and located the bottom lugs to the underside of the car.

Kept each skirt pressed up against the side of the car for an hour with a piece of timber and hey presto, job done.

Neither skirt has moved since.

I think, the best is glue for car windscreens, for example Wurth..

When I had mine I riveted the skirts on the filled over the rivets before spraying (The skirts had been sprayed prior to installation) Don't like glue much

Looking alot better Blue20vt. Can i just ask, did yours have the lip on the inside, the bit you put your glue on possibly at the top on the inside, because my lip seemed to make fitting them so difficult, i even shaved off most of the lip on the second one with a stanley knife.

If you have any time could you take a shot of yours from the rear and front running down the side, so i can see how far yours stick out.

I fitted mine and thought they looked right, then i saw this pic of Dan_S car and thought they wernt sticking out as much as mine but i couldnt get them in any more than they are.
