Title: Windscreen trim issue
Post by: paceman on October 16, 2019, 01:38:01 PM

hi all,

some of the clips on the windscreen trim on our honda crv have broken, and a replacement is an expensive proposition...

i was thinking about using some sikaflex-type of product to just glue it down.

has anyone got any suggestions as to a product that will do the job, but will be heat resistant and also be able to be cut/removed, if necessary?

Hi Paceman, Might be a plan to PM Swannie?  He offers advice on windscreens.
Cheers

Used black  Sikaflex 252 in the past, Just super cleaned where it was to go, Scuffed the stainless  trim underside with some 80 grit emery cloth where the clips used to be and put decent dob of Sika / cleaned any overflow up, stayed stuck  for years ..

I have a transit van (you may have seen it around @paceman), it has a couple of plastic side trims on the windscreen, that when they replaced the windscreen a few years back mustve broke the tabs. I was heading up the highway for a job & when i past a truck the pressure blew them off.
Solution...I use a couple of different sealants in my work, so i just pumped it up with superseal & pushed them back on.... that was probably 3 yrs ago for 1 & 2 yrs for the other, they never moved. Dont think it matters what type you use as long as you dont subject it to load/pressure before setting.

Side note, pity the poor fool who has to get them off though

Edit
Actually i had the windscreen replace earlier this year after an insurance bingle, so they must've restuck them with something similar
