Having to take my recently repaired spare front wing off due to poor fitment, think it was a pattern one,Note to self alway double check fitment.
I just wondered what seam sealent you use and weather it's normal or a glue type and the make
Cheers
Dave

Well now...

I think I might have given myself a bit of a headache because when I did my front end last year I used a black silicone adhesive called Everbuild. Everything went fine with the silicone doing its thing... I also sealed the holes around the rear valence mounting points with it... Last week I needed to remove one of the valences - it was stuck like a complete b@stard, so much so that I thought I'd forgotten a mounting bolt somewhere. It finally pinged off with the help of a small prybar. That was two blobs the size of a 50p piece.

My wings have this stuff on them from the nose to the bottom of the bulkhead. I'm not sure if they'll ever come off again... :oops:

Thanks for the reply,think I may go for something a little less sticky just in case I need to take something off again, just got to get the right one.
I did get one out of a local body shop but was not that impressed with it, I may try some built
That does seem very strong suff you used on the car.
Cheers

I think it will prove awkward if not fatal when it comes to pulling the shoulder capping off my Cab...

Might be better off speaking to a motor factor or auto paint supplier.- which of course is what I should have done in the first place. :oops:

I suggest popping into your local body shop supplier and ask their advice.
Or just pop into a body shop, they may even have some spare to sell you
