I noticed that when I took off the chrome trim pieces around the window/roll bar that there is some black stickum on the back of them... when I reattach, what should I use? I have some stuff in a tube that is recommeded for attaching emblems, can I use that?

I have been trying myself to come up with something. Seamsealer or a poly caulk will work.

When I reinstalled many of the chrome parts on my car after paint, I used small amount of the window seal bead ( butyl tape )I had left over from reinstalling the back window glass. I pinch off a small amount and stretched it so there was a little to act as a seal and give adhesion. It was similar to the sticky black "stuff" that was under it prior to removal for paint.

That's what I planned to use as well. It seemed like the closest match to what came off of the trim.

I attached the chrome strip using your recommendations ... here's a shot of the 1/4" butyl tape stretched out....

Thanks again for the suggestions....
