Installing m performance side skirts
What should I use in place of liquid adhesive? Should I just use double sided 3M tape, drill the holes and use the rivets, and call it a day ? Last edited by P_Leotardo; 11-09-2021 at 04:17 PM.. |

I used the liquid adhesive when I installed mine. Just gives that extra holding strength. There have been a few occasions where one of the kids ends up stepping on it when getting in and out of the car. My youngest tends to be the one that does it. Those little feet lol

Plus living up in the great white North where I see all four seasons, (+30c down to -45c) I feel the addition of the liquid adhesive provides a bit better adhesion in those areas than simple 3m tape and rivets. Especially with that type of temperature fluctuation. To each their own tho. Enjoy the side skirts! |

I installed the side skirts this evening and feel like the fitment isn’t great. I used 3M double sided tape and self tapping screws instead of the rivets, but there is some space (like a small gap) on the top portion where it should me the side sill.
Any suggestions? |

I've just fitted skirts to my G21 M340i and on one side there is a noticeable gap at the top where it meets the original side skirt. It seems to be fine and sit okay when installing, prior to you securing it via the screws underneath and then the screws as they screw in appear to sort of push the top of the skirt away from the car slightly. I've removed them both and refitted them but it did the same again. Any solution to this? |
