Door applique

[JohnMoe]

Anyone have a solution for broken door applique on both sides? It’s the black glossy panel to the rear of the front windows. I’m told it’s a common design flaw...
Looks like the retaining clips are broken and the whole panel might break off at 60+ mph...

I think some people use double sided tape. Like the 3M stuff that holds your trim pieces on.

As previously mentioned I used about a 2" x 2" square piece of heavy duty 3M outdoor double sided tape. It'll hold it down, only problem is due to the thickness of that 3M double sided tape it will now stick out slightly, maybe 1/16".

However, I will say now that we have hit summer and seeing temps up in the 90's the tape must have lost it's adhesion because it's popped off again.

I bought new replacements and complete replace here soon, my understanding is they did redesign the rivet/attachment piece that has been previously failing.

Ah good, then it will match the top of my drivers door that sticks out a 16th....
