d14vd_h Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Working through the snag list on my recently acquired Bugeye Wagon; My passenger side side skirt (factory black plastic) is pulling away slightly from the body in one spot; no cracks no missing fixtures. Is there a recommendation to replace or could this be fixed/ sealed with silicone sealant. aside from looks my biggest concern is water ingress into the sills. Im likely to have to have these taken off for some welding during MOT in December so if best replaced wanted to source a new one now.

d14vd_h Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 appreciate that; i'll clean up where the clips are and take a proper look again Monday; fingers crossed If its warped etc i'll get in touch about yours. Is there a Haynes manual/ other preferred manual that covers the 2001 Bugeye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
