glues/adhesives

[wcoates]

I bought the stainless surround molding for around the grille area. (from Phil or Aaron I can not remember.) I have about a 3-4 inch area that has come undone at the very bottom.. Have tried various adhesives including 3-m double back tape and "SUPER GLUE". Thought super glue did the trick but after using just a dab of nail polish remover on the outside surface it came undone again.

Any thoughts / suggestions?

I had the same problem about six months ago with one of the headlight chrome visors pulling loose at the corner. After several failed attempts, I finally used the clear gorilla glue and it is still holding strong.

I recommend a product called GOOP. Comes in a tube, is clear, very sticky but doesn't set up fast allowing you time to get pieces in place if necessary. It needs a little pressure to hold it pieces in place while it dries. Any excess can be rubbed off after it dries similar to the way you can rub off excess rubber cement. There is a couple different types of GOOP sold. I have always used their "HouseHold" type. Packaged in a blister pack that is silver with purple highlights, GOOP is in red. Buy it in almost every type of hardware store.

In your situation, Bill, I would use the GOOP and tape with painter's blue tape or something similar the trim piece in place while the GOOP sets up.

I have used this method to hold a piece of fender trim in place on my truck. It has held for years & the truck has been in all kinds of weather as well as having been pressure washed many times.

I have the same problen and was thinking Gorilla but mine is not clear.

I've had good results securing trim pieces with a product called E6000 available in most hardware or home improvement stores. It is clear and comes in a tube. When fully dried it has the consistency of a strong bonding RTV. Good luck and let us know what works!

epoxy says Stewart. My trim didthe same thing..passenger side.

Well 3m adhesive didn't hold nor did super glue or epoxy.

Off to get the recommended e6000 and the goop and clear gorilla glue.

Greg, what did you use?

I should have clarified. I also had held the piece in place under compression for six hours after applying the glue to the part. The gorilla glue is still holding.

I built up enough glue to meet the SS trim....not perfect..but better..in the last application I used 3M 03601 Plastic emblem and trim adhesive..that didn't work either...maybe Phil would replace them?
