Securing Loose Moldings

  1. Wash the affected area with soap and water and wipe dry. Wipe the panel and adhesive side of molding with a clean rag using an approved solvent .
  2. If the molding has pulled loose from the adhesive backing and tape remains on the body panel, do not remove the tape from the body. Clean the back of the molding and the tape on the body with an approved solvent.

  3. A straight edge can be used as a guide to keep the molding straight. Masking tape may also be used as a guide.
  4. Apply Loctite® 414 adhesive GM P/N 12345093, or equivalent, to the back of molding and press in place. Apply constant pressure to the molding for 30 seconds or until a firm bond has been made.
