If its the same as a beetle you dont use glue,If you still have the old ones use them as a template to cut out the new ones then fit them hope this helps cheers shane.

no glue there held in place with the guard bolts

fit then in the sun if possible this will allow you to adjust more easy

thats the stuff to use, the beetle beading has a different profile.

Thx a lot guys. I already bought some "T" profile beading from VVD. I began installing it and its not as easy as i thought. especially as the cars almost vintage the panels have shifted ever so slightly. Really fiddly job but ill get there. Cheers and thanks for all your advice.......Rowan
