Hey guys,
Just picked myself up a set of Monsoons/Weathershields for my Gen 3 sedan. Naturally being used, they have no instruction manual. They however did include a whole heap of clips and screws.
Can anyone with a Gen 3 (Possibly even a Gen 2, as I imagine they are the same) tell me how I go about fitting them?
I've also bought new double-sided tape to replace the old stuff on there.
Cheers
P.S. Hopefully this should help anyone else looking to install a set in the future 
I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

oh 
what a c**t of a job that was to do on my old gen 2. normal double sided tape wont work you need to go to a smash reapir supplier and asked for UHB (ultra high bond) double sided tape. cant help with the clips i gave up and just used the tape.
Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

In the forester, you pull down the rubber seal and screw the clips in the predrilled holes. Tape is used to hold it all together whereas the clips are the main secure.
So the clips screw in to the body(?) and the monsoons tape on to the clips? Have I got that right?

Oh, you'll notice on the underside of the monsoons themselves, there'll be little divots where the clips clip into
I noticed that yes. I wasn't 100% what they did..

I can get some photos of how mine are installed tomorrow if you'd like.
Not sure if they would help though.

There you go man, only the front brackets screw in the others just clip on under the rubber seal.
Just make sure you get good double sided tape, mine's starting to come off but the clips are still holding them on fine.
