Evening all I'm replacing my door moulds with calais style moulds, and wondering if u really really need sikaflex to hold them on? I have some industrial double sided tape that sticks like **** on fur. I hate cleaning off sikaflex!!!! Has anyone replaced theirs without sika? Or Would double sided tape and say 8 dots of sikaflex instead of a continuous bead be enough? Cheers
I reckon you'll be right with the double sided tape as long as it's waterproof. even some contact adhesive would do the trick. Sikaflex is just overkill that they used to piss you off. I know the moulds on the bumpers of my car were only held on by some tape and a little bit of glue.
have you got an original set of calais door mouldings? if not i put this on my car. i know its not original. but the size of it (19mm) is the exact size that fits in the channel around the front bumper. and down the sides it looks pretty legit. (so long as you get it straight) also depending on where you live it would be pretty easy to go buy it directly with cash VS Door Strips, Chrome just an idea for you =P
Ur not wrong about pissing u off, spend half a day clean the backs of the moulds. 2 of the 4 just had tape, the other 2 had tape and sikaflex. I hate sikaflex but I don't want them falling off. Yea I have the original moulds, there the statesman/Calais moulds so they're the full plastic style. This -> Statesman VR VS left hand side door mould trim set blue | eBay They're heaveir but not much.
