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

Re: attach molding
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.

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. Slonaker Last edited by Slonaker; 04-03-2007 at 11:49 PM. |

Re: attach molding
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

Re: attach molding

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)

Re: attach molding
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.
