Sounds like the epoxy is probably the better way to go.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have received a pair of the GT3 style flared rocker panels, which I intend to install (or have installed) on my '02 996. The rocker panels come with the retaining hardware to attach to the lower edge of the existing rocker panel, as well as double stick adhesive strips along the inside of the top edge of the side skirts. I talked to a body shop yesterday and they felt that the adhesive strips often come loose eventually. They also felt that looseness in the attachment of the top edge could lead to water leaking in and collecting underneath the real rocker panel, leading to corrosion (at least in their experience with other car brands). They propose doing away with the double stick adhesive and instead sealing the top inside edge of the side skirts with a two part epoxy. Anyone have any experience with this or opinions on this approach? Thanks. Appreciate any input.

POST 2Original post

There is a procedure outlined in a Porsche TSB that uses epoxy and a special cleaner to make them stick better. I find it very easy to tell a factory (prepared) aerokit car from an aftermarket simply by the fit of the rocker flairs. IMHO this is something you want done right.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Loren, Thanks very much for your response. Sounds like the epoxy is probably the better way to go. The body shop I'm using does a lot of custom show cars so I'm hopeful they can do a good job. Andy
