How to reattach loose chrome trim?

[Geek2232]

Greetings. The chrome trim strip on my car's boot is starting to detach at the edges, as seen in the picture. Double-sided tape has been used, however it is ineffective. What is the best adhesive to use to ensure that it remains securely attached when I reattach it after gently removing it? Thank you very much

Inquire at a nearby auto repair shop. They will own the accurate tape.

They often do not sell items such as tape. I prefer not to hire someone since I am saving money for v power.

Are you serious,Paqngo?  Is the banana targeted at my CLS? How audacious of you 😄

[Matt865]

I assume they would either provide complimentary items or suggest what to get.

Apply a little amount of araldite adhesive behind it and secure it with a gentle clamp for 30 minutes, or use a 3-inch x 8 screw.

Do you mean a rivet gun?

To remove the trim, you will likely need to use professional-grade double-sided tape as previously suggested.

Some individuals have used it for installing boot lip spoilers; someone knowledgeable will provide advice shortly.

It may be just perception, but the AMG insignia on your car seems little misaligned, doesn't it?
3M VHB tape or generic automobile body trim tape

It should be done, but as Paqngo said, you may need to remove the whole trim to do it correctly, and it seems to be highly susceptible to damage.

Agreed Ordered 3 metres of VHB adhesive. Thank you! I didn't see the insignia before. It might be an optical illusion or a result of accident repair. I verified under the hood and it is definitely not a 320cdi 🙂

Have you inquired about the price of a whole new trim item from Mercedes-Benz? It's worth a try, since they may be surprising in both positive and negative ways. Typically, a new component will arrive with the tape pre-attached. They did so when I purchased B pillar coverings from MB.

Amazon.co.uk : 3m double sided tape

Heating the trim before removal and warming the tape and repair area before reinstalling the trim is the recommended method.

Utilise dental floss to slide under the trim and adhesive remover to remove the old tape.

[Geek2232]

Remove it entirely and begin over instead of attempting to reattach the problematic corner?
Thank you

Excellent decision! The new product from MB costs £100. Only little used... I just hope I don't mess up while glueing it down.
