For the recent side scoops, does anyone have any suggestions for a secure but removable installation? I was going to use a bonding compound, like a panel adhesive, but that is permanent. I may need to remove the condenser or do some other work that requires access through the side vent opening.

I was thinking silicon, like we seem to use for all sorts of things on the car, and a couple of rivets at the top and bottom near the opening, but wondered if there is a better idea out there.

Thanks
Paul

luckily found a pic that I did while installing them, pic is showing where I placed the rivnuts so they can later
be accessed from outside with a looong tool.
