Hey everyone,
I received some more of my carbon fiber upgrade parts from RLS yesterday.
The door panels went in quickly, and today was the door sills.
I have first of the old sills removed and now I have some questions.
First - the new CF sills do not have a screw in the back, like my original panels - do you try and drill a hole in the new CF panel, or just rely on tape to hold it all down?
second - on the bottom of the original, there is a molded foam piece that is glued there - does this need to be removed, and do I need to try to reattach it to the new CF sill?
third - mounting - I did a test fit - as I push down on the new sill it is not tight against the underlying frame - do I need to use a bunch of mounting tape to try and get it to not have any "bounce" to it as I push down? The original had some molded "ridges" but new one should be OK just sitting against underlying frame/panel right?
I have some double sided Scotch mounting tape from a project on my Avalanche - is this what you would recommend? it is a bear to get off if you need to redo it if I remember from my Avalanche.
Thanks for your help.
