your having a laugh aint ya! tiger seal!

no,. do not use tiger seal to put the green strips back on, use the double sided sticky foam tape like they do from new

as for getting the ripples out, try heat (no flames) and things like that, you will never get them dead right if they have been bent or twisted badly

tiger seal !

yea they will stick on with that but wont ever come off again without cutting the door skin off with it

why would you want to take them back off???
tigar seal all the way for sticking out to anything.

Well you may want to remove them for styling reasons or to repaint panels

so it makes sense to use the correct double sided foam tape. Which is still a nightmare to get off the bodywork.
you wont get tiger seal off paint work without a sanding disc on a drill which will ruin any paintwork

Nor will they ever come off again in any reuseable state

as already said heat is best way to flaten the strips. i tried a hair dryer and heavy objects.
the glue takes lots of patience.
White spirit / petrol to soften the glue and then use your finger nail to scratch it off.
or use a tool called a Toffee wheel on a drill bit to remove the glue without damaging the strips

go to b and q mate and get some no nails double sided sticky tape for outdoor use. its the perfect size for the stripes. and sticks very well and can be removed pretty easy.

I'd use the rubber sticky tape if you can get some rather than the foam. It doesn't swell up when wet then and sits a little closer to the panel. DO NOT use tigerseal I've heard putting the stripes in a very hot bath then laying them flat with heavy books (or similar) works well.

tiger seal lol wtf right mate iv tried everything to get em straight iv heat em up iv put em under the livin room carpet for to months iv taped em flat to the floor but they still come out bent BUT then one day i had a arguement with the missus i got ma bent green strips put em in some warm water then lied them on the flat tiled kitchen floor coverd it with a towel then smashed fook out of it with a rubber mallet as they were stiffening back up and they all came out bang on i was well chuffed . good soft rubber mallet make sure u cover the strip with a towel or summat as u will scuff em . it works

Ive got a spare brand new set aswell
Tiger seal lol
As said hot water is the best way or putting them on a radiator,do not use tiger seal or sealer.
3M do a double sided tape that is really good but expensive and thats one of the only double sided tape ive had work and last and ive been a panel beater over 10 years so do this most days

mate ya having a laugh aint ya, double sided foam is whats used from factory, and ive used it many time, and it holds them fine, and is easy to get off if needbe.
tiger seal is just a bodge way of sticking them on and completely over the top

ok, you boys obviously like touching cocks withs each other, and too scared to use some decent bonding material. no wonder most of your fezzes are falling apart

wtf...??

are you on something?, i mean come on, honestly, who the fcuk uses no nails to stick plastic side strips on..... scared has nothing to do with it, its common sense, i mean, you wouldnt use a JCB do do some weeding, why use "decent bonding material" when its clearly not needed and total over kill.....
no one said it wont stick them on, we just all agree its over kill, not needed, and clearly not the best stuff, and way of doing it, and you dont agree with us, which is fine, no need to spit the dummy out

and for your info, my fez isnt falling apart, but if it was i will be sure to get some no nails to keep it stuck together

first time no nails has been mentioned... why do an half arsed job when you can do a proper one???
as for a jcb for the weeding,it depends on what jcb product your talking about???

[jayrs]

no nails, grip fill, all the same sort of stuff.
as for JCB, which ever takes ya fancy, i like the way clarkson weeds........ with his shot gun

[rs_fiesta]

Ford use double sided tape from the factory so i dont know what the problem is???Anything else is just rough,imagine if the mould had to come off again,id rather take tape off than Sikaflex/Tiger seal!
