Side strip spealing back

[Russell]

Just got out of my car and the side strip is just starting to peal on the back drivers side. (the strip half way down the car) How do I reattach this to the car?

The best thing to use is 3m double sided tape. The stuff VW gives you is useless. But you have to make sure you clean the area really good. Also, if it's starting to go you'll probably want to address it fairly quickly because if the wind catches it just right it'll fly off and rash the crap out of it and then it looks really ugly (which is why I now have all textured ones, well that and for old school goodness, heh).

i thought about taking mine off and having them sprayed with that truck bed liner stuff. The balck looks cool on non black cars, and no more door dings by other idiot drivers!!

Ah, that's probably what they use for "ghetto texturing" MK3 bumpers, I'm gonna have to look into that as i'm thinking of doing the same (too poor to buy real ones).

The real textured ones for me were under 300 bucks even after shipping and exchange rate from the US, it was a good deal, and they are the clip in kind (early MK3's) so they don't peel off like the colour matched ones.

It happens all the time on thoes cars, I would pull it off completly, remove all the old double-sided tape with some thinner or a body eraser and clean both sides really good. then re-apply it with the 3M goodness.

Shaved does not look that good on a mk3, but is very nice on a mk4!

Re: Side strip spealing back

I've seen a couple cool shaved MK3's but the other mods were substantial. best to just redo it.
