FrankyEight 10 Posted April 16, 2019 Hi guys, can anyone suggest the best tape to use to fix exterior door mouldings to my car? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted April 16, 2019 3M trim tape. Make sure both surfaces are spotless and try and warm the strips up a bit before fitting. If the trims are new, they will come with adhesive tape on them already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyEight 10 Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks, do you know which particular 3M tape? There seems to be a few with different references that could do the job (4611, 5952, 4910 etc). Trims aren't new so I'll ensure surfaces and trims are clean etc. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) This one looks good: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Super-Strength-Molding-Tape/?N=5002385+3293241071&rt=rud Haven't used it myself yet, but have used 3M double sided foam tape for number plates etc., but I don't think the foam one would be strong enough for the side moldings. I've also seen it done with black Wurth adhesive bonding sealant before, but that seems more of a cowboy approach!

Keyo 47 Posted April 16, 2019 3m tape is the one but be careful if you purchase off ebay, most of them are fake Chinese copies that people are knocking out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k993apc 10 Posted April 16, 2019 I got a roll from bmw bodyshop. Ask at the parts department for the tape they use. They will sell it over the counter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
