Hi, just got back from vanvest, great times, just bought myself an eyebrow for my van (round headlights). I have to cut two little grooves to make the eyebrow fit flush, no problem with that, just wondering what the best way to fit these are? Could glue the eyebrow on but then i wont have access to the screws to remove the grille so was wondering what the best method(s) are? Thanks!

I fitted a pair to my camper, I have only used one screw per eyebrow (top centre) I drilled out two clearance holes where the adjuster screws are, I have found that because the grill is a good fit around the eyebrows when it is re-fitted the single screw is more than sufficient to hold them in place.

Thanks for the reply mate but i think there called eye lids (i think), im talking about a fibreglass strip that goes above the light, are you talking about the chrome pair of eye lids?

i used hi bond sticky pads for centers and drilled a v small hole right on the end of the grill at the sides and fitted a small self tapper which i then painted same colour as the grill

And it looked great ! the old girl is still going strong..... and giving lots of pleasure

Sounds good, and similar to the sort of thing i was thinking, but i thought itd be hard to remove the grill ones the eyebrow is one there?

pionte glad to hear it

cubes no its simple just undo the self tappers and pop the spoiler off the stickey pad on the grill

so when you gonna tell them you've gone to the dark side then Jase

Hi, a friend of mine bought one from vf as well, he has squarelights but still has screws on top for grille. We found that a self tapping screw on each side works to fit eyebrow/spoiler tightly although it needed a little filing out in the centre to fit snugly over his vw badge, so when putting the grill back on to only do up middle three grille screws leaving both end grille screws loose, which gives access to spoiler screws to undo first to get grille off in future. - Hope this helps. - Jason.
