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

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.

Don't use super glue,super glue breaks down after a relativly short time. Go
to your local automotive store and buy 3M body trim adhesive, it is the one
with the red plastic covering the tape. I use it for all kinds of things,
once attached it is water resistant and holds tight in all climates and
temps.

Oh, I forgot about the two holes, cars have different types of molding , you
got the cheaper type. The holes are there for the more expensive trim that
had inserts, which are attached to the trim and "pop" into the holes on the
door.

I use 3M Fast Tack Trim Adhesive. Kind of surprised that an auto parts
store wouldn't steer you in that direction...

3M weather strip adhesive. Get the yellow, not the black. Put it on
liberally, press the strip into place, then pull it back off for 2 or 3
minutes. THEN stick it on, but make sure you have it where you want it
because it's not going to move ever again. Clean up with brake cleaner and
re-wax the finish.

Thank you everybody for your suggestions. The clerk at the store I
visited must have been new and not aware of these things. I'll search
for the products you've mentioned.

Thanks again,

David

You're too late. Last year, Black Glue Matters activists fed Steve to rabid gerbils because they were offended that he said yellow was better than black. I wouldn't tell anyone what adhesive I use. I'd keep it hidden so no one can see it. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

All decent suggestions. However, the best way is to go to an automotive
paint store and get some double sided tape. It is a black, really thin
tape made just for your type of trim. All automotive paint stores will
have the proper stuff for sticking trim back on to vehicles that have
been painted. Even though yours hasn't been painted, you are in a
similar situation.
