Title: 1969 Charger taillight trim, How to reconnect?
Post by: 1batt4u on April 17, 2017, 07:53:05 PM
I was wondering what is the best way to reconnect the trim back on the taillights?

Before I removed them they were bonded on with some kind of black adhesive. Held on well, but can be removed easily when needed.

What should I use, what do you guys use?

OEM trim was installed with molded in pins on the bezel that get staked/ peened over once installed ? .

My pins are short, I guess snapped over time, and some of the plastic pieces on the lens broken, won't work either way.

Mine were held on by some black adhesive. I am trying to figure out what others use that will hold on well. Black caulk, silicone adhesive, gasket maker stuff?

3M black super weatherstrip adhesive might work for it  :shruggy:
