   The arches and door skirts on my VTR had come away from the bodywork by a mm or 2. I tried replacing the clips, but the gap is still there
   
   I thought about using tigerseal, but if they ever need to come off that'll be an issue. What sort of glue is on them as standard, as that wasn't too hard to get off.

   Window bond them or tigerseal, Do small blobs up towards the top where the gap is, so if you need them off you can pull at the bottom and stanley blade through the windowbond

   Not seen windowbond... Googled it, and I assume you mean stuff that bonds windscreens to cars?
   
   Correct me if I'm wrong.
   
   Also, wondered if there's any sort of double sided tape that would do the job? Had a look but could only find foam stuff which would be far too thick.

   Yeah thats the stuff i mean mate, great stuff
   
   As for tape, you wont really get much contact area with a flat tape at all, not really worth the effort

   Tigerseal seems to be the general consensus, or windowbond... Down to B&Q/Halfrauds/Wilco at the weekend to see if I can find any of them.
   
   Thanks people
