My question is...how the heck do I get my trim to stay on?

Just came up the M4 when the left hand side trim decided to blow off. I reckoned it wasn't worth stopping and going back to get a trim that had just been run over by about 100 cars so kept driving. It's always been loose and I kept pressing it back on, but obviously something was worn or I didn't get it on right.

So, it's off to the wreckers tomorrow. I hope they have one. Then I'll probably glue the sucker on.

Anyone got any advise?

Cheers.

Yes, glue it on, with neutral curing silicone/silastic. Or when you rip one off at the wreckers see how it is clipped on. If your clips are stuffed don't try to get them out with a sharp object, you will start a crack in the windscreen - just use the silastic method.
