Ok guys/gals, how do you remove weather shields (without butchering)them from around doors. There seems to be a series of small clips

& maybe glued or double/side tape. Any help appreciated.

Cheers Shane

The clips just have little plastic nuts on their underside; undo them.

The double sided tape/ glue; heat gently with a hairdryer to soften and use a length of fishing line or builders string slipped between the two surafces to saw through.

Don't try to pry them off; they can be brittle & easy to crack, just take your time :thumbsup:

That sikaflex is serious #%it...I'll never get the suckers off if needed ones thinks. Might go the 3m double sided route.

Thanks for imput.

just make sure its good, under a speed they may fly of if they arent secure

i tried 3m double sided. didnt stand up to the summer heat after the car had been sitting in the car park at work all day - soon as i hit the freeway the tape pulled free.

i used sikaflex on the front section that runs down the a-pillar, and on the top it's just held on by tape and the tabs.

but you're right - sikaflex is awesome stuff until you want to get rid of it!

  • Sikaflex® - PRO Polyurethane (PU) Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 11FC Polyurethane (PU) Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 221 Industrial Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 227 Automotive Adhesive/Sealant
  • Sikaflex® - 295UV Marine Sealant/Adhesive

Which one did you use as Im putting them on ?

Thanks Mark.

the automotive adhesive

fantastic stuff. used it for the past 10 years and it has never failed.

if you make a mess, clean it up with prepsol before it dries. wear gloves too, because it will stain your fingers for a few days and gets impossibly deep under your finger nails!

How can we best get new ones? Group buy?

Im keen on a set for my S2 C34. Both driver and passenger sides. group buy sounds like a good idea.

I would buy a new pair. I believe they were still available ex-Japan recently...perhaps get someone like Kudos Motorsport (great bloke!), Justjap, KDS Parts etc onto it?

Question;

My clips on both sides just seem to be...clips? I couldn't see any plastic nuts.

Could well be slightly different on yours; on the M35, they have little plastic nuts (Thumbwheels really) though.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
