Side-cover Molding
O.K. it's just a minor item, but I've just wrestled with my oil bag/Right side-cover and replacement molding, and before I commit I'm seeking advice.
The molding arrives all coiled up in a bag, so I decided to do a test run to verify correct fit before doing anything to bond it on.
Since I run my vehicles until the wheels fall off I've replaced auto moldings many times over the years. This was a bi-otch!
Right now it is in place with the blue painters tape holding it down, hopefully so it will take a new set shape.
I'm thinking about putting some mild heat to it to see if it can be made to re-conform to the intended shape, and since it slips off so easily I'd like to apply some sort of adhesive/silicone seal to the interior cup to keep it on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
