Wicker gaskets
The little gaskets/grommet that are included with the wicker and are numbered..... How are you guys holding them to the wicker for install? I can't believe that I could not find a thread about this. I did read where a few members mention the use of super glue. I would like to install mine this weekend but don't really want to use super glue. lol

I found that if I just start one screw at one side (without the gasket) there is enough flex in the wickerbill to gently pull away from the spoiler and slip in the gaskets from the bottom. Working towards the original screw just start each screw and move on to next. Lastly remove the first screw and slip in the gasket, adjust for desired height and hand tighten all screws. Worked for me. I found the only way I could thoroughly clean behind the wickerbill was to remove it.
