When you glue the weatherstrip do you just put glue up in the slot of the weatherstrip? Or both surfaces? Do you try to get the flaps in the gutter and interior glued down too?

Here are three photos from my installation.  A length of 1 x 2 clamped along the side channel helps to distribute the clamping force.  The plastic pinch clamps are cheap and worked nicely.

Please remind me of this once I get there!!! Brilliant idea with the wood as well

I got the chin spoiler primed yesterday and colour and clear on today, I'll give it a couple of days to cure before installation.

"We have a problem. You don't own this car. In fact this car was destroyed by a wrecker".

It was March 14th when I posted that message. Today I got a call from the Ministry of Transport Ontario saying I own the car again! The paperwork to have it transferred back to me disappeared twice in the depths of MTO, but good eventually triumphed over bureaucracy. I wasted no time getting insurance on the car, and picking up the new ownership papers and license plates. We're now one exhaust system and a signature on a Vehicle Condition Report away from being on the road! MTO doesn't require the Vehicle Condition Report - they returned the car to "fit" condition, because that's the state it was in when transferred to the wrecker. My insurance company needs the form completed before they can put collision coverage on it.
