Re: What to use to glue trim back onto deluxe sidemarkers
I used 3M strip caulk, mine fell off about 2 months after I bought them. They've been on about 1 1/2 years with the strip caulk, I'm not sure if this is the best way to put them back on but it does work better than whatever they used originally.

Re: What to use to glue trim back onto deluxe sidemarkers
Ok guys, before I respond I want you to know I am married
 I use my wife's Nail glue, the finger nail stuff, it dries clear, and it's not quite as tacky as that Super glue stuff, I too had clears on all 4 corners and my trim fell off also, now it's stuck for good.

Are you addicted to trucks if you steal your wife's makeup to fix your truck?

Re: What to use to glue trim back onto deluxe sidemarkers
I had one fall off. Seems to be an epidemic! Since you can't buy the trim separately you are buying a new one if it happens to you. I found that I could pull them all off by hand without much effort
 They are only held on with six dabs of weak adhesive each. I cleaned them up and used some 30 min epoxy to reinstall. I'd recommend anyone who has them do something similar because they are just waiting to fall off from the manufacturer.

Re: What to use to glue trim back onto deluxe sidemarkers
I use a hot glue gun. A few dabs, (it's clear), stick it back on and when it cools in a few seconds, it is done.
