What size wheels can I fit? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 4,654 Joined: 5-April 05 From: Scottsdale, AZ Member No.: 3,881 Region Association: Southwest Region ![]() ![]() |
I finally got some chrome trim back around my windshield. However, the top three clips aren't holding the trim in place very well. Nothing is cracked or broken, they just don't hold. I have tried slightly tweaking the trim and it helped a little but it will still pop off after a few days.
Is there a good adhesive that I can use that will keep things in place? Sort of a JB weld type goop that might work? |

I had this problem.
I humbly suggest that you are not putting the trim on correctly. It seems to snap in place, but it is not engaging the clip the right way. Look at the trim, if you push it straight down, there is no way for the clip to get into the trim. Try this first, make a tool out of very thin metal that can grab the edge of the clip while the trim is laying in place...kinda like a flat hook. A flat piece that you have ground a hook into one side..not sharp, just a hook that you can grab the plastic piece with. then, as you are working the trim in place from the corner, pull out each clip by its edge and make sure it gets INSIDE the trim. I heated the trim clips up with a heat gun first to make them a bit more flexable. It does hold, even on old clips,,,its just a matter of being really patient. It took me several days to get one piece on the top to stay, I just walked away when i got frustrated and went back later on when I was more patient. Gentle and patient will get it to go in correctly. Rich |
