Sorry....didn't mean anything by it....some folks can look past things like that, but it would bother me. Heck, it's just an overpriced piece of cheap plastic....wish somebody offered a replacement piece that was more substantial.

Which type of liquid nails product did you use?
Thanks

Nothing scientific about it....it’s just what I had. Has worked well. The current trim has lasted 2x as long as original as is strong as can be.
