I think my dad used that stuff for his side skirts on his mondy. It did hold pretty well but i was holding it in place for a while. He ended up putting screws in it for extra hold. If you use the seal maybe put a couple of self tappers in there to give it some extra strength. :) Karl

do you know how he applied it?

did he just squirt it on or squirt it on then wipe it all over the surface glue area?

if u use self tappin screws u wont need to hold it in place as the screws will do the job..u will need screws long enough to go through the skirt and into the body at least 1 or 2cm to get a good grip.
