Door guard molding peeling off...
Hi all,
The door guard molding on my car started peeling off at the end (circled in green).
I still have 3 more days of warranty (expires 12/24/08) but I doubt I'll bring it back to dealer for some glue. Anyone know of what kinda of glue I can buy to stick it back on?
Thanks...

Will pick it up next time I swing by an auto store. You the man!

So I wanted to peel a little of the molding out today and apply the 3m double side tape but as I remove the molding it started peeling off little by little so I ended up just peeling the whole damn thing off.
Found out there were 4 holes under the molding tape with 4 plastic clips (one of mines were missing). I backed my car onto a chunk of ice one year in a snow storm and scrape the door thus it was re-painted, which explains why one of the clips are missing. Anyway, I can't get what those plastic clips does and if I would to put the molding back in, the plastic clips just kinda push the molding out leaving a bigger gap. Either my plastic clips were all messed up or something so I ended up yanking it out and took the clips off. Applied the 3m tape (it actually sticks out a little bit more than the oem molding) but it's alrite, didn't bother me. Now it's bonded on and seems pretty tight. Hopefully it won't fall off, if it does then I probably need to get a new molding strip with all the original 4 clips.
