Exterior 2nd Gen Most liked posts in thread: New scuttles!

I have the same ones. Word of caution - get some double sided tape and tape the scuttle onto the carrier. You don't want to have to buy a second $150 pair when you lose one, like I did.

 

+1 either 2 sided tap or a touch of hot glue works too. BTW, they look great

 

Hey I did the very same thing on my r55 the other day. First mod on the new car.
You have impeccable taste!

 

Neither of mine were ever very tight. I'd knock them out of place while washing them. They wouldn't fall out, but they sure weren't secure. I rear ended someone lightly and one fell off never to be found. I'm certainly not the only person that has lost one, I've seen threads around about it before.

 

+1 It's not the side scuttle that falls out...it's the insert, correct?

 

yeah the insert with the design. they're the expensive part to replace too.

 

You're probably correct if yours are tight.:yesnod: I helped a fellow club member put her's on a couple of weeks ago (Black Jack Inserts) and they were very loose. She hit the back with a dab of hot glue to secure them.
