attach molding
 

Does anyone know how to attach molding on the side of the bed of a chevy truck. Mine has little ruberized pads between the body and molding which were originally attached with adhesive. I've tried a couple of adhesives , but have had no luck. Nothing I've tried, sticks to the pads. thanks for any possible help. I believe I tried super glue, for one. marvxyz1

Have you tried the 3M adhesice tape that is meant to hold trim on? If that stuff won't do it, nothing will. You can buy it in auto parts stores in the same section as bondo and sandpaper. i think I bought my last pack at Wal-Mart.

make sure you scrape off the old tape before laying the new...you can use the new tape straight across with a ruler for a spacer too (if that helps), that way its even. on my 76 (a few years ago) I just layed new tape down without scraping the old gunk off the surface, looked like hella azz

if you dont want take and glue will work autozone has some super adhesive weather striping glue. Iv used on every thing and man does it hold. One thing i used it on was the side mirriors they were coming loose after the old heat gun glue from factory wore out. (this it were the mirrior glass stick to the mirrior frame inside the housing)

Sure. You will be really impressed with how well this stuff sticks.

EDIT: I tried an off brand, and it did not work as well as the 3M stuff. It also works great for holding stick-on blind spot mirrors to your side mirrors.

LMC Truck sells the same pads you are reffering to for $1.95 each

dont forget to wipe off the truck with a wax and grease remover after you take off the old tape. Then use masking tape as a guide to get the molding straight.
