Get a roll of quality double-sided trim/badge adhesive tape. You can get it from Halfrauds, just make sure to clean off the panel and it's free of any dirt, bits of glue etc and bang it on. Make sure it's decent tape.

Make sure it's decent tape. That must be some strong tape! This trim is very heavy mind, solid rubber/plastic. It was on there with some thick adhesive before... |

silkaflex, but you may find it messy to work with and be a pain to get off if you ever need to remove that trim in future.

All modern factory cars do their trim with double-sided tape. I can guarantee that if you get the right stuff it is more than strong enough!

As I said, if you get the decent stuff it'll hold it no problem, its not made from cast iron is it? You can get a roll of outdoor use no nails double-sided from B&Q if you want to make extra sure. As has been said, most body trim is now held on by double-sided foam tape...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure with a clean surface to adhere to i'll have no problem.

The tape will do the job as long as its decent quality and all surfaces are very clean

Funnily enough someone mentioned this at work this morning. He said that defiantly WONT come off. The Halfrauds tape, is that foam backed? Was thinking there might be a small gap if it was. |

No, you want the foam stuff - it compensates for any irregularities in the surfaces. |

The Halfrauds stuff will do the job. It's not thick, it's only a couple of millimetres.

I would make sure all the glue is removed properly ,clean over with solvent of some kind to make sure theres no silcone from polish etc . Then perhaps put some sort of upper and lower line along the side with masking tape , following the other bits of trim so you can be sure it lines up nice . I would get some 3M tape if you can ,any thing they make is 110% quality .

Feel like a bit of a tool but perhaps all is not lost…
I used some fast acting Araldite on the body trim to the body. I stuck it on with a good dose of the stuff and stuck it in place with masking tape like stictches. I left this overnight and then took it off. It doesn’t appear to have set well, the edge of the trim hasn’t adhered to the car very well and I’m worried it will fall off now. What can I do now?

Clean it all off and use some quality double-sided foam trim/badge tape.

Did you mix the araldite together properly in the right ratio? should be pretty hard to get anything off once you've araldited it  but yeah I would also go with clean it off and get some good strength double sided stuff, if its good enough for manufacturers now it should do the job  |

For anyone interested. I bought some spray that took off the muck that the Araldite left and then was given some red 3m double sided tape that worked instantly. I couldn't get it off now if i tried!
Thanks for the help on this guys.
