I live in Dubai so engine temps are well over 80c. I noticed my trim missing a few months ago but got around to buying replacement trip from JWT this week.

I was about to install the new trim when I saw the old hard rubber part of the trim (the stuff that grips onto the heatshield or scoop) was there but the thin rubber trim (that forms the hole from heatshield to scoop) was gone.

Apparently high temps cause this and I was advised to secure the trim with an additional layer of super glue.

Check your trim

First two pics are the original rubber moulding (grips on the scoop/heatshield) but with missing trim. Third pic is the new part which I was reseal the trim on using superglue.

 

Good to know.
Thanks for the heads up.

 

thanks funny though lol GL fixing with that

 

i have to reapply the trim with glue every couple of months. ive ordered a new set twice but it just keeps melting off. fu cking jwt couldnt devise a better way of insulating the pop charger. a ssholes. anyway i guess you get what you pay for??

 

what glue do you use diablo?

 

80C, that's only 176F, my engine temps are way over that here in the states under heavy driving. If your car were black there I would bet you hit 230's!

 

that trim is crap. Who knows if mine is on correctly.

 

we wont know unless you post pics

 

jwt intake in a 176F? Wow, im surprised ur car still accelerates.
