Try some double sided foam tape found in most hardware stores. You need the
foam to absorb the thermal contractions and expansions. Clean both the paint
and the rubber with alcohol before applying the tape

Although I never tried it on car trim, I might give E6000 adhesive a try.
found in most craft stores. Sure worked good on my sneakers.

Hello,

The bumper strip on one of my car doors has lost its adhesive
and won't stick any more. What do repair shops use to attach
them? The strip itself is flexible rubber with a flat back.
The grove in the door for the strip has a few holes near each
end, but the strip has nothing matching the holes. The entire
inside of the bumper strip is rather sticky and apparently was
just stuck on the door. I'd like to clean up the strip and
apply some new adhesive to fix it. I've just not found
anything suitable in the local auto parts store.

Thank you in advance,

David
