I tried a search but all I got was people wanting them off. Anyway what is the best way to put back the door rub strips? Thanks.

 

sheet metal screws other than that free bump

 

Do you mean the outside body molding ? The black hrizontal pieces on the sides ?

If so, DO NOT use sheet metal screws ! Use 3M emblem adhesive. Make sure the back side is really clean and dry and it'll hang with you for many moons.

 

Double faced molding tape, you should be able to find it at Canadian Tire or an auto parts store

 

I belive that originally they used double backed tape. It's kinda resilient.

Many OEM automotive suppliers use the 3M double-sided tape. I'm sure I have a part number somewhere at work. (We supply as OE at my place of employment and I keep a roll of 3M double-sided tape in my office.) Clean the sheetmetal with isopropanol, first. 3M tape is quite gummy before it "sets", but once it sets, it is permanent.

 

It's a lot cheaper at WalMart or KMart, get the stuff that's about 3/4" wide, in the large package (it's amazing how those trim strips eat it up). Clean the surface with gas or paint thinner, line up the tape and cut it in tight with a razor, works great.
