Upper trim molding adhesive
Older posts have stated you should remove the adhesive from the upper trim molding pads and replace with 3M double sided tape. Has anyone used these from Classic industries? They show 3M tape in the picture.

Re: Upper trim molding adhesive
Classic industries is now owned by Holley if IIRC. A large corporation. What you see is maybe not what you will get. A gamble unless someone has experience about buying. A phone call to ask about the product might be helpful if the person on the line can visually verify the item. Kind of doubt that, but it would not hurt to try. Contact some of the forum venders and ask. Wes @ Classic Heartbeat usually answers the phone. Others are email only and I use them less.

Re: Upper trim molding adhesive
why not contact 3M directly and just get a roll of double-sided tape and cut each individual piece as needed. I'd think it's less money than getting these pre-cut. Or go to an autobody shop ask them what they'd recommend and order that

Re: Upper trim molding adhesive
I had several of the old molding pieces, and I cleaned off the old foam type adhesive, and purchased a roll of the 3M tape, and cut my own and applied to the old plastic parts. Did same on lower moldings. I got mine from a glass shop, so might ask there too as they use the 3M tape to mount glass and mirrors.

Re: Upper trim molding adhesive
A LOT of after market companies and manufacturers are being bought up by the big corporations. Some of them end up going back through the tree to Vanguard and Blackrock. They're scooping everything up. There are some vendors I used to buy from consistently for the past 20 years.....no more, they got bought out and implemented new 'corporate wholesale policies', don't want to sell to you unless you spend a ton of money with them monthly. Miss that mark and they'll drop you as a vendor.

Re: Upper trim molding adhesive
What you need is the 3M emblem and body tape.
This stuff is real thin and once stuck to a clean surface , it is there for good. The double sided foam tape will not hold very long and your trim will start to pop off. Using a hair dryer to warm the sheet metal will definitely help in the adhesion process. Vic |
