Question about.....glue?


Washed the car over the weekend and noticed this, the glue came loose I guess on the rubber trim right in front of the rear tire above the side skirt, never happened to me on any car I've had before, any suggestions on what type of glue to use to put this back in?

That strip might be held in with a friction fit. Is there glue residue on it?

If so, 3M weather strip adhesive is stickier than gorilla snot and designed for what you need. I like it because it's black like the rubber unlike some of the glues out there.

You have to tuck those pieces back in. I have the exact same issue every now and then, there is no glue from the factory on the ends of those pieces.

I checked when I first saw it Saturday and it does have some residue on there, I'll check out the link, thanks.

I've tried to tuck it back in and just keep coming loose every time I drive, the same trim on the other side is solid. It's rubber touching metal on top and plastic on bottom, I'm going to try to glue it back down.

What about taking the end with a pair of pliars, then pulling it past the crack (stretching it), then working it back into that crease completely? Doesn't seem like it would jump back out unless there is a bigger hole back there that allows the air to push it out?

Thanks, I'm going to try that and also with a wedge used for window tinting to try to push it back in first before gluing it down.
