2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission TFP fender trim - to drill or not?

[Joe Mc]

I figured the trim pieces would peel n stick on - wrong. Looked briefly @ instruction application options: Drill-On or No-Drill.



I hate drilling holes in any vehicle - especially my truck - but if it's the best method then it must be done.



So the question - what are your experiences with fastening them to your truck. What works best is going to stay in place through thick and thin.



Thanks

No need to drill, 3M trim adhesive from most auto parts would probably hold an anvil to the side of your truck, it's great stuff. Just use alcohol to clean the surfaces well then follow the instructions on the adhesive.

Illflem - Thanks for the idea - very familliar with the 3-M stuff. I was a bit disappointed that the trim didn't have it already. So I figured I'd post and see what the other folks did before drilling any holes in my truck.

Joe, just to clarify the type I'm speaking of is a paste in a tube not the double sided tape(also good stuff)

Illflem - Know what you are takling about comes in different colors for different uses, I think the yellow is "Super Weatherstrip Adhesive" we've used it for door & trunk lid seals that don't have push clips etc. Thanks
