well its one of the last things i need to do but i dont know how to start.
got a 'glue on' seal which i presume goes on the boot lid. firstly, what side should be glued down? second, what glue do you use and third, does it need to sit in a specific spot to seal properly?

thanks

Well i'm not sure what kind of seal you have.
But i've just got the standard one.
Which uses the clips.
But i pissed the clips off and LIQUID NAILed it to the bootlit.
Hasnt budged since i put it on well over 6 months ago.

PS> They ARE a bitch to close once theyre on; ask Anton. :wink:

yeh im thinking liquid nails might be the way to go. boot wont get opened much so as long as it seals itll be all good. was just wondering if they r a bitch to get to seal properly

If it's the foam one, Selleys Kwikgrip contact cement is the go. Mine's been on for 10 years now. Clips?... :evil: :x :!: Stuff the clips!!

I got the clip on type, and it seals pretty well.... :lol:

I was told to use super glue for the glue on type.
