blackcat 0 Posted October 13, 2005 For some reason my delightful boyfriend is at home pulling bits of trim off the VR. :roll: Anyway, what do we stick it back on with?? VW will only supply sticky pads with a new bit of trim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 13, 2005 you could cut the number plate sticky pads to size.....bit crude.......or go to a decent DIY store and get heavy duty double sided tape Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted October 13, 2005 I got a roll of stuff specificaly for sticking bits of trim on with from hellfrauds... its probebly the same stuff that you can get in a DIY shop but more expensive tho... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsbellew 0 Posted October 13, 2005 3M Automotive acrylic plus tape is the best by far (I work in a coachbuilders so we have researched this) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted October 13, 2005 have you tried a hammer??that should stop him pulling your trim off :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Lol @ dazzyvr6. He doesn't have a job right now so while I'm hard at work earning the money (or reading the forum) he gets bored at home and starts taking things apart!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Like Corrado Wales says- Halfords do a specific trim tape- its about 2mm thick so it has a bit of give, and as long as you prep the surfaces welll (which I am sure you will) it never, ever comes off!

Trig 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Along the same subject (and I know this has been talked about before) but whats the best way to get the trim & all the sticky gubbins off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted October 14, 2005 and I know this has been talked about before :lol: ..use the search then :cuckoo: :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackcat 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys, I'll get myself down to Halfords at the weekend. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted October 14, 2005 As blackcat's delightful boyfriend is ripping their trim off atm I just thought I could get some useful up to date tricks and techniques, the search comes up with a number of methods which only seem to be half effective. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.ots 10 Posted October 14, 2005 Use a hair dryer to heat up the sticky stuff and then it should loosen enough to pull it off. If it's badging once heated get a credit card behind it to gently prize it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice White Socks 0 Posted October 15, 2005 They take the strips off the PVW Corrado in the A20 Lee issue. Typically enough I can't find it at this moment but they use a drill with some kind of buffer/soap wheel to get the adhesive off. I'll post more when it turns up (unless someone beats me to it!)

.Rich. 0 Posted October 15, 2005 im currently having a nightmare trying to get mine off. the bottom layer of adhesive just wont budge, i have some autoglym tar remover but it does nothing :( Plus the paint under it seems to have corroded a small amount so i might just put them back on lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
