sills Herald

[Martin M]

Hi,

I´m trying to fit the sills to my Herald. There are two holes at the rear end of the sill where it shall be screwed to the tonneau.

But there is only one hole (at the rear end ) of the tonneau.

Do I have to drill an additional hole or was it only fitted with one screw?

Cheers

Martin

If it was me, I'd use two. It's not really set in stone but just make sure the sills are firmly attached and not likely to either shift or drop off - for that reason I'd use two and that was how it was done at the factory. Replacement wings are supplied undrilled so the owner can drill them in the appropriate area to match the sill. If you can reach the other end of the screws inside the body use a spire nut as a belt and braces approach; older screw holes may have widened over the years and might not hold as tightly as they should, and will work their way out whilst driving.
