It might create less glue to wipe off but if the glue drys too fast it could look bad. Super Glue - ? I sense this may work best because the tube and applicator are small like the black strip + it will dry much faster than auto adhesives. Silicone Adhesive - same possible issues as above? Plus, there's no easy way to clamp the pieces together for the suggested 30-60 mins. Additionally, this would be a messy job with lots of extra adhesive to wipe off. I liked the sporty look when I purchased the car but I doubt I would ever agree to even an OEM trim package again to be honest - too much hassle when the car becomes a few years old.ĭoes anyone have intermediate to expert level knowledge on which product to use, and/or specific quality brands?Īny of the ones below recommended for the task?Īmazing GOOP Automotive Adhesive, Clear - seems like a good option but I am concerned the applicator is to big/ bulky and it will dry too slow.

The dealership's only solution to is replace the entire body kit at $1,500 which is completely crazy, not to mention a waste to clutter up our landfills. I would expect this is be a common problem. Likely due to pressure washing the car, this thin black t shaped strip of rubber is detaching in a few places and it looks unpleasant, plus breaks the seal to allow water to run down under the body trim. On top of the plastic trim panel itself is a thin black t shaped strip of rubber which acts to bridge and seal the plastic trim to the body. The plastic side trim is pulling away from the body. The strip of rubber also disappears under the body trim in the middle of the photo if you look closely.īackground: So it's clear what I am referring to, 2015 Accord Coupe, which also has an OEM HPT trim package or body molding kit on the front, rear and sides. SEE PHOTO - of the thin black t shaped strip of rubber on top of the actual body trim.bottom left the strip is lifting up slightly but there are other places where is much worst and 1-2 inches away from where it should be. I am trying to decide between using a clear silicone adhesive sealant and super glue. Question: What is the correct product to use, to reattach, a thin strip of black t shaped rubber looking sealant 'tape' which sits on top of body trim?
