I bought self adhesive foam tape 1/2" by ??(maybe
3/8") deep. Goes on as slick as slug snot. On some
areas, I had to double up the thickness to fill up the
gap but you can mix and match at ease. Can't remember
how much it was but seem to remember under $20 for
enough to do 2 doors and door tops. It's been on for
over a year now and is holding up very well.
I used the the glue on stuff from AB before. The
pattern of there stuff is very near to the original.
Used 3M trim adhesive but it didn't hold all that
well. Unfortunately, On the windshield frame, it
got pushed out of shape by the way the door top hit
it, became deformed, and kept pulling free. Maybe if
I'd spent a couple of months training it, it would
have worked out but who has the time. The stripping
also pulled away at places where it made bends. Kept
regluing it but it wouldn't stay attached. Worked
okay but looked funky.
