The OEM skirts come with tape and once you have the bottom of the skirt installed with the clips, remove the protective paper/plastic coating from the tape to expose the adhesive and press the top of the skirt firmly in place.

The cost should be low since all you would be doing is taking the old 3m tape off and cleaning the surface to apply the new one.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My girlfriend noticed the skirt on my car is coming off on the passenger side! Its not completely coming off, but it seems that the sticky adhesive that was holding it to the side of the car has lost its ability to hold on side skirt flush to the car. It seems to be locked in pretty wheel in the wheel wells, just not flush to the car anymore just under the door. Is this normal? It seems to be fine on the driver side door. These are the stock skirts that come with the porsche, not an addon. Should I take it to a body shop and just have to add the sticky stuff or whatever was holding it flush to the car? How much should i expect to pay for this? It doesnt appear to be damaged, just coming off! Thanks guys!

POST 2Original post

This is very normal if the skirts was not installed properly. If its bothering you then fix it yourself or have a shop do it. The cost should be low since all you would be doing is taking the old 3m tape off and cleaning the surface to apply the new one. Just make sure that the surface is clean and warm when you install the new tape.

POST 4Original post

DJ - I believe it is double-sided tape. The OEM skirts come with tape and once you have the bottom of the skirt installed with the clips, remove the protective paper/plastic coating from the tape to expose the adhesive and press the top of the skirt firmly in place.

POST 6Original post

You should also make sure to use automotive 3M tape, which is grey and has red peel off backing. I've seen it in various stores like Pep Boys, Autozone, etc. See 3M link: http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/e...er/output_html

POST 7Original post

Mine was just coming out at the rear wheel well and i squirted some crazy glue in there and held some pressure on it for a few minutes and it has stayed. Kinda crazy to think i repairing my porsche with crazy glue, but it worked.

POST 8Original post

The original (factory) Aerokit Cup side skirts were held on with epoxy glue. The process took 24 hours for the epoxy to dry. Double-sided tape -- Looks like another Porsche tactic to lower the cost and labor time. I'm pretty sure my Aerokit Cup side skirts won't ever fall off.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
