If you take off the rubber seals from the wheel arches, what do you have to do to put them back on again? What type of glue would you use and is there any technique?

Cheers!

 

no glue needed, they just fit back on. If there's been any rust in them though, I'd buy new - tenner each from a dealer

 

Don't forget to flood them out with waxoyl before putting them back on, it stops anymore moisture getting underneath them. Turns a bit messy but is well worth it.

 

I removed mine as the metal was starting to corrode underneath. I then got pissed off with 'touching them up' due to stone chips, so whipped them off with an angle grinder....

 

My car went to the body shop and they advised me to take them off right away as they do more harm than good as they retain the moisture!

 

My car has a fare bit of corrosion on the floor pan just inside of the cill seam, and bit on the chassis rail sections especially where jacks and stands have been used over the years. Its all very much surface though none is pitting, but i must find time to do something about that.

I dont seem to have any rust under the rubbers though

 

The arch protectors are great If you clean them out regularly and waxoyl the arch, many Honda owners just leave them and are supprised when rust starts to creep onto the main bodywork section. Either ditch them or maintain the area in my book, i dont have any on my honda and stonechips arnt really an issue, although thats not on a s2000.

 

I have a My99 and my arches mint, I've kept the rubber seals on but just made sure I've cleaned the arches out properly on every wash, but the best thing you can do is garage the s over the winter if you can, I've decided to do this now.

 

i removed mine.. there was loads of cack under them

 

How do the rubber seals actually come off? Is it as simply as pulling them towards you? I don't want to pull on them if they clip on or are attached to anything else. I may do more harm than good.

I think I'll need to clean mine up especially if we have another bad winter and excessive salt.

I've always had a gap (top of arch on the rear, near side) where it has come away from the wheel arch and exposed a gap. Looks tatty as well with the gap.

Looks like taking the rubber seals off, cleaning up the arches, wax oil them and refitting the rubber seals are in order.
