The rear door exterior side body moulding on our '08 Tahoe is curling outward at the forward end and causing interference with the rear edge of the front door.
It is a replacement moulding installed by a body shop three or four years ago after body repairs where done but it's too long ago to expect them to redo it. The shame of the matter is that the first time they applied it the adhesion was not very tight and they redid it back then too.
Is there a down and dirty way to get it to say attached to the door?
I can push it back and can see how to temporarily clamp it during a repair, but with what adhesive material? Is there a tenacious double sided tape? I would be afraid of using any sort of glue that might breakdown the door paint.
I considered a screw into the face of the door panel but perhaps as a last resort.
I could do a Rube job and cut off the leading edge of the moulding so it clears the edge of the adjoining front door. That would be temporary though because I suspect the delamination may continue.
