Help and tips for Carbon Covers

alexpila · 01-12-2010, 06:54 AM

Hi guys so im having trouble sticking on my mirror covers and front cf cover. I cant find any 3m tape here and the double side tape they sell is useless i bought 2 rolls of Pattex No More Nails Mounting Tape. I dont want to use it and never ever be able to get the parts off as i may change my mirror covers later..... What do u recommend i do to stick these overlays or covers on????

how about velcro?

Couple of dabs of clear silicone seal.....Won't harm the finish, and easily reversible. Tape the parts for a day while the silicone sets up.

Huh?? Just put some silicone strategically AND SPARINGLY on spots around the mirror. Put the cover in place and wrap the mirror with Blue painters tape to hold it into position. Excess silicone should just peel off. Don't use too much and you won' have this problem..
