I Disagree with the above 2, the last couple of kits i have put on i have bonded them on with say tiger seal then water doesnt seep down under the kit so will be better for keeping the dreaded brown stuff away.

Partly agree, mine doesnt go out in the rain if I can help it so rivets and tape ok with me.
If car used as a daily, then agree sealant better.

i use por 15 rust preventive paint on the arch lip before the kit goes on the arches will never rust again with this on its the dogs bollox been using it fo years. that way you dont need to bond them on so you can actually get them off in the future if need be
