    Default Attaching bump strips

    Tried to attach the rubber bump strips with double sided trim tape, but they come away after a few days . . . heated them up etc etc

    Any ideas on what is good to fix them on??

    The stuff I have is supposed to be decent and holds the shorter bits ok, but the drivers door strip comes away either on top or bottom strip of tape depending on what mood its in (attached it several times now to try it heated, etc)

    Perhaps ill try some different stuff then!

    It looks like the stuff I have - do you heat it before attaching up?
