Test fit the piece of trim back on the van. Make sure it will set in place correctly. Then goop a real good amount of the silicone over the back side of the piece of trim, then press it in place. Tape it there with some duct tape or masking tape until it dries about 24 hours. If you goop enough of that silicone on there, it will never come off without some force. Silicone. Great stuff. Almost as great as duct tape!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690253812850334837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-61165404790622252009-06-03T10:24:20.012-04:002009-06-03T10:24:20.012-04:00I probably would have used stronger language than ...I probably would have used stronger language than Yikes to describe that!<br />Never boring at the Miller's!<br />Hope everything is going great with the child watching :)preppyplayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488992569447830584noreply@blogger.com
