A lot of folks prefer not to drill their sills. Mine are finally being fitted tomorrow and they'll be glued on, which seems to be the preferred option.

agree with both above posts

template available at dealers

but as said most prefer to fit them without putting holes in the sills

What type of glue are people using?? i have some tech 1 skirts that i want to fit but am reluctant to drill holes in the body work.

Also the edges of the skirts are quite thin would glue get enough purchase on the thin edges??

not sure what type of glue
but there are specific glues for this type of thing im sure

also those sticky strips can be used not sure what theyre called but its about half inch/inch wide double sided sticky foam type stuff comes in long rolls for this type of thing

maybe some glue and those together would work well

If you want it to stay on and not come off again, use Sikaflex. That stuff's the nuts.
