MK2 side rub strip installation

Post by britishrocco »

Hi folks, I want to put back the rubber strip on the side of my scirocco, what would be the best glue to stick them, 3M double side tape?? If anyone ever glue back those, please tell me what product did you use.

cheers

3m double side is best, easy to use and not as messy as glue.

They also protect the side of the car from idiots who open car doors till they hit the car next to them!
I like the Mk2 with them on....
