I need to clarify, is the door sill 'scuff plate' shown in the diagram above attached with adhesive only, i.e., removed with hair dryer & floss? I'm looking to replace the stock Carrera scuff plates.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

They are attached by adhesive only and I've heard that they are difficult to remove. I suggest a hair dryer and a plastic putty knife.

Keep us posted,

:thankyou: Jeff. That's a lot of adhesive, X 2, sounds like one of those weekend projects. The 3M remover does work but it still takes a lot of elbow grease. I just replaced my rear lid logo and I used it then.

All the best,

Alex

What do you use to mount it back again?

I have tried various tapes (3M etc) but none of them stick long term.

Some works when it's not so warm but in the summer they just let go.

What to use and where to get it?

Only the original tape preinstalled on a new sill is strong enough to resist all weather conditions, i have still no found a after market tape with the same qualities. Some amount of front windshield kit can help you out, but TAKE NOTE once the sill is installed with kit, he ( she?) is very difficult to remove.

If you go on 3M's webite youi will see they have a tape made for body accessorries etc. This works very well. If you get their adhesive promoter that also is a very good product. Be sure to finally clean the surface surface with rubbing alchohol before applying the new double sided tape.

Here is a link for the tape. http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/a...ler/output_html

I had to reapply one of my sills because i didn't properly prepare the surface and the tape lost adhesion. This is the tape I used to fix the problem and it works great. For the tech people here attached the specs on the tape.
