I was just wondering what people used to hold on there after market sideskirts at the rear quarter panel. On my old boomer skirts I used epoxy, but to tell you the truth im tired of using that and was wondering if anybody knew of any type of body glue or some adhesive that was stronger?

self tapping screws work pretty well, about 1 every 2 inches
i think most people use some good automotive double sided tape. or you can mold it to your car. i think they use bondo for that (haven't done any body work really yet so don't take my word on that) those skirts will look really good on your ride.
Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
we have some stuff called TIGER SEAL over here mate, very sticky and remains flexible. I think it comes in black or white and I've started using it. Used it to fasten some mesh to the front bumper, help fasten the boot spoiler on and will be using it to fix the clear perspex to my rear clusters
i used that urethane stuff you mold your windshield in with....
it works lovely!
it works lovely!

I drilled notches into mine halfway through the fiberglass without making a hole then popped pop rivets into them. it resesses the rivets, then i just bondo'd and fiberglassed it strait.

Sikaflex 252. It's a heavy duty adhesive sealant designed especially for this use. I've just bought some in order to do my skirts this weekend. I had used double sided automotive tape but it all came off. Oh the only problem is that the 252 could be hard to track down...
I was actually looking for somehting to use other than double sided tape.

cool ill try that sikaflex, i used some "better than nail" stuff and it worked for like 5 mins. then it pulled apart...

Oh I hope it wasn't misleading but you'll still have to hold the parts against the car whilst the sikaflex sets - which can take up to 48 hrs. I left my car for 2 days with ropes and stuff around it whilst the sikaflex on my side skirts set.

If they are held on with other fixings too then that will help. i.e. my skirts are held on with 4 plastic clips in the door frame and 1 plastic clip in the front and rear arches too. These would be enough to hold it til the glue sets. Failing that I have read that decent masking tape should be enough.
Also these no-more-nail products say only for use where theres no water, so it wouldn't last long on the car anyway.

Works like a charm.
We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
use JB Weld and 1 roll of duct tape to hold it for 10hrs.
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
