I know that the double sided tape works well but I have seen a few cars with the skirts added on after the fact, using just the double sided tape and there were gaps.
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.

Hi Guys
Just curious if i should urethane on , or just use the 2 sided tape that comes on the GT3 Side kits from my Areo kit. I was told that the tape does not always hold, so i am curious to know what you guys think.Oh and i might have a GT3 from bumper cover for sale... MAYBE... it will be offered here first to members I'll let you guys know, I think i am going with the TT instead
Thanks in advance
Paul
I know that the double sided tape works well but I have seen a few cars with the skirts added on after the fact, using just the double sided tape and there were gaps. That could be that the area of paint that the tape contacts wasn't prepared correctly but some Urethane couldn't hurt.
I have done some installations like this before on previous cars. A suggestion made to me by a body shop guy was clear silicone. I installed a front spoiler and used silicone and it was great. Just make VERY sure the pieces are in their proper positions as they will BE there if you catch my drift.
Side note, I will be preparing my side skirts for mounting by the middle of next week. Stay tuned.

Chad,
I have always been told that sealant silicone is corrosive and the vinnegar smell should indicate that it contains vinegar which in it self is a corrosive, though not very strong.
Ciao,
Johannes E.
Actually...the smell is the "liquid" agent used to keep it in a semi-liquid state. The agent has a fast evaporative quality that allows the silicone to "cure." As the vinegar (as you call it) evaporates, the remaining silicone material forms into it's true solid form.
Note- I work for The Boeing Co. as an Industrial Designer. I will confirm this in a few minutes.
Chad
EDIT: Confirmed. Silicone is used to seal various metal joints. It is used due to its inert qualities.
Chad,
Cool, that's good to know!
A friend of mine in Sweden that is a professional car restorer (currently putting together a rare IROC Fastback Mustang) told me this!
Ciao,
Johannes E.
You know...I was pretty certain. Now please allow me a moment to corect my statement. I was incorrect.
The engineer I spoke to called me back. He was referring to aluminum. Johannes, you are correct. For some reason, traditional cold press / stamped steel and silicone DO NOT MIX. The silicone acts to keep moisture in contact with the metal. A good example is the old school method of "sealing" a windshield with silicone. As a result, the body around the windshield is corosively accelerated.
My apologies for the confusion. My mistake. Best to follow my own advice and get the facts first.
cheers,
Chad
Good question Urethane is an adhesive, its nothing like two sided tape at all, once this stuff is on , there is no getting it off....its like a gel form .From my understanding its pretty easy to use and its DAMM strong............anyone else want to add!
Kilrgt,
Don't foret that Urethan is also damn difficult to remove. Imagine having to remove a side skirt in the event of an accident or something, god forbid.
Ciao,
Johannes E.
I was going to do that but the installer told me it would be a bad idea. He said the slight gap did not matter and if I did seal it then there would be water retention on the lip and a possible point of corrosion. How true that is I dent know, but when I do was the car I do notice that no water stays there and when I move the car it all drains down from the under part of the GT3 skirt. Was I fed **** I dent know but the install looks fine and I am **** about the car
