Re: Anyone install their trim with tape?

My trim was already fitted with a combo of the original metal clips and the tape, and when I needed to replace my damaged trim the replacement trim came with new adhesive strips and they have not held as well as the stuff I had to remove. And as has already been mentioned the adhesive pads held the trim to far off the body for my liking. I'd say the tape would be fine if you don't want holes in the body where there were none to begin with but it would be real important to get the best available tape out there, imagine the wind getting behind it on the freeway and tearing it off....what about heavy duty Velcro?
