Default What should I use to stick mouldings to door?

I have new(used) mouldings for my car(came without them) Should I get double sided tape, or something else? I really have no clue whats best. Is double sided tape available at home depot like places?


Thanks

3m double sided tape. I think you need 1/16 or 2/16 not sure. Clean both surfaces real good and put tape on molding then remove a couple inches from all 4 ends and fold over so when you stick them to your car the ends are sticking out. Then open your door and check for alignment and clearence. If its all straight simply peal away and press to adhere.

I think im going to take all of the trim off of the middle of my car (back of fender, door, and front of quarter panel). My friend did it on his Mustang and I think it cleans up the look. Actually it look f*&^%$ awesome! And by the way, Elmer's glue works best, and when your done you can eraet what left in the bottle

Yea I got lucky and had an entire roll given to me by a body shop. Its expensive at austozone or advanced. You might want to try Lowes or Home Depot and see if you can find it there cheaper.
