molding fix

Image
Finally decided to fix the passenger side molding that has gotten detached and been hitting the fender. I peeled it a little and start cutting the adhesive with a flat razor top and bottom.  Whatever adhesive I could peel with my fingers I took off. A little acetone and a micro fiber rag took the rest of with a little help from a finger nail here and there. I used a nylon bristled wheel on a drill to clean the adhesive off from the molding. after wiping it down with acetone, i applied two 1 inch 3m brand molding strips the length of the molding. I put 3 strips of masking tape on the front face of the molding and taped it to the side of the car a little low and peeled the tape gradually moving it up from side to side until I was happy. I flipped it up and started to peel the top adhesive strip. I probably should have started both because it was hard to start the bottom after the top was adhered.
