the first and the paint.

I used rubbing alcohol before sticking the trim on and let it dry very well before doing so. Never tried using the heat gun.
Sounds like a good idea.

Might go back to this.
I was wanting to try the same thing with the 3M trim tape for the paint divider trim for the cab back panel. My original cab had the pins to attatch the molding. My swapped cabs and the newer cab did not have the pins for the molding. I really don't want to drill holes either but I might. I haven't tackled my tailgate either. Mine is an aftermarket no holes either. I might consider using the 3M trim tape as well just like you have done.

Do you have any pointers you might be willing to share?
