the mould and spores need a real good valet followed by drying out properly
might be wise to take affected seats indoors to dry out thoroughly
this is why i dont like covers especially if theres anything damp in a car

Try Groom. They sell it in Halfords, works like magic
Cheers will give it ago.
Anyone know where Tiger Seal is sold? or is a specialist thing that needs to be ordered on line?
You could try this stuff, CT1 construction adhesive
should be able to get it in most building suppliers.

Is it best to bond the skirts on too, or as mine is a Sporting anyhow is there another way of fitting them?
Cheers I appreciate the advise

i would doubt the holes are there for the clips underneath.
a bead of that CT1, and 2 screws into the arch at each end and they wont go anywhere.
Use 2 jacks, some rags, a few lenghts of wood and 2 concrete blocks.
Offer up the sideskirt to the car, use a jack to hold one end while you line up the other, or get somebody to help you. drill 2 holes and 2 screws should be fine on each end.
Draw a line on the car with pencil, when its in place so you know where it is when u take it away. then apply the bead about 1cm below the line, then offer up the skirt again.
Then set up the jacks and wood something like this,
Leave it overnight to let it set in place.
As for the wing, you can use the CT1, a bead on the top part of the boot and a bead on the glass, then use masking tape to hold it in place.
I found mine kept falling down while it was setting, so got some rubber washers and stuck them where the bolt would have gone thru the glass.

Just picked a load of bits and pieces... Sporting rear spoiler, side skirts, and tinted rear passenger glass (which i don't know if ill use) and a new parcel shelf for the grand sum of €70 - think a bit of a bargain. The spoiler is very heavy but thanks to the advice i will bond on to the back. However the side skirts on the other hand seem very flimsy and are just thin fibreglass. Is this normal or are they some king of after market jobby, they do look standard????
I'd put some pics up but have lost the cable to my camera!!

Have a look on the back of them, should be a Fiat stamp.
