but they are can be devil to get at. From my recent experiences on #1 daughter's car, put it up on ramps or stands.
Remove all the under engine covers and the ones in front of the tires. This will give you access to everything. On the '95 there were some screws that were accessible from the back of the air dam. I didn't notice if there were some clips, but other parts of the under engine covers are held with clips so it makes sense that there may be some for the air dam.
The caveat here is that the fasteners that hold all the covers are likely to be trouble. Some of these are likely to be missing or corroded, so see what's up and you can probably find a decent replacement at a good hardware store. As I recall you're in Europe so you'll have a selection of metric screws/bolts, etc. I replaced some with plastic license plate inserts and screws. You could also use some type of plastic drywall anchors, depending on the spot you're dealing with. There are also compressible steel things called jack nuts that can work, but since they're steel you'll wind up with corrosion issues sooner or later.
As for the 3M stuff, I used a 3M marine sealant used for repairing polyethylene tanks when I repaired the washer fluid canisters on the 9Ks. As I recall it was called 5200 or 520. I don't know if the chemistry is compatible with polyurethane, but it might be.
