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 

[symes]

How about hotglue gun?

+1

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

[omega3000]

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

Mate can make 16/17th if you can wait 1 week will bring an industrial hot glue gun( £100) Believe me mate that will do it-it uses 14mm glue sticks-I used it to refit trim on back of miggy seats and carpet on Spare tire lid
