Title: Stupid Trim
Post by: omega3000 on 06 February 2013, 21:54:13
Ive got trim flapping on drivers door  ::) Its not damaged just loose , ive tried superglue , tried proper trim double sided tape and its still not stuck . I know that silkaflex or tigerseal does it but dont want to buy a full tube of it for a thimble full . Any idea what i could use instead  :)

The reforming of the plastic can help take the 'set' out of the shape

Yeah i would try that but no glue gun  :-[ Mite have to bite the bullet and buy the tiger seal , only other reason i dont want to buy it is that half the tube went off hard last time i bought that  :( Because im trying to stick hard plastic to metal there mite not be any other solution .

Cant see hot melt glue working.

When you tried the trim double sided tape did you

1) clean the surfaces and de-grease them fully
2) warm the area up well with a hair dryer.

2) warm the area up well with a hair dryer. / nope  :(

Trouble is the hollow on the back of the trim needed to be packed out so ive filled with silicone , if it dont work i will get tube of tiger seal , then it will never come off  8)
