Best Way To Re-Attach Door Moldings???

[swathdiver]

My door moldings have seen better days and the ends on some have come unglued and are hanging in the wind. A few of them could benefit from a fresh coat of paint.

So what product is best to reattach them to the doors? Would RTV work until we get through Christmas?

I have had good luck with 3M trim tape.

One of the 3m molding tapes, like this one:

Many other choices of strength and permanency. I think I've used the 03609 Super Strength before. Good stuff.

How wide do you think? Can I use the same stuff to hold up the dash cam mount on the windshield?

I would get about the same width as the molding, maybe a little smaller. Or buy larger and trim down. The "036xx" series is the Super Strength.

Not sure if that's appropriate for glass. It's gray in color. On windows I've had issues with dark colored velcro (toll road transponders) soaking up the heat of the sun and the adhesive releasing.

Your trim has about a 3/8” wide surface all around it if I recall.

Have you considered completely removing them?

Just get some trim adhesive, i taped around my edges to avoid getting the glue on the paint and used a popsicle stick to push in and coat the backside of the trim, then use painters tape to hold in place until it dries.

That florida sun james....
That high strength 3m tape that wade and steve mentioned are great. It’s holding the the wing on my trunk of my black accord... no issues.
