I've been fighting with that trim on my drivers side rear for a few years. I'll have to try the 3M tape. Never had any luck with glue.

Do you remember the cost?Originally Posted by cakM3
I am trying to find the cheapest place to buy the trim and not get screwed over in shipping.

Nothing I've done has fixed this. I even superglued the snot out of all the white clips where they attach to this trim, and the trim peice STILL breaks loose and shifts forward, and then in turn rips loose the rear clips.
I'm pretty much at my wits end. There is no fix.

I had this problem, and I looked up and couldn't find any way to just replace the clips if they are broken, and the trims cost like $450 each, LMAO SMH, so I just glued them on... I cant see the trims dulling or cracking before I move onto my next car so saving myself $1000. Oh and there is a cheaper matte/type version, just my version was the glossy black thing.

I've used silicone sealant/adhesive to "glue" mine back on. I think the pressure of the door closing is what's breaking the bond. I cleaned both surfaces with acetone and then closed the door and marked where the trim sits with the door closed using a wax pencil. Open the door, glue the snot out of it, then align it with your mark. I used a bunch of painters tape to hold it tightly in place and carefully closed the door. Been about 3 years and its still holding.

I used 3m heavy duty double sided tape. It's held for several months. Glue didn't work well at all.
Wedge some cardboard or something soft in there and close the door on it to give it a chance to "catch"/cure.

3M double sided tape worked for me. Last applied a piece a few years ago.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

How/where are you applying the double sided tape? This is the red 1" wide 3M double sided tape stuff?

Pretty sure I put it on the clip(s) and cut it down to size. Use the heavy duty stuff.
