When a customer asks how to reattach loose side molding, you can help them with the right tools and advice. If bolts or clips are exposed, sell the proper retainers and installation tools. For flexible body side moldings, the process involves removing the molding using a heat gun or hair dryer, cleaning off old adhesive with a plastic scraper and alcohol, and applying new two-sided tape or vinyl trim adhesive. It’s best to attach the tape to the molding first, then carefully press it onto the vehicle—an extra set of hands helps. Use masking tape to hold the molding in place while it cures. Providing the right products and guidance ensures your customers get professional results and appreciate your expertise.
