How to attach back door trim to door cards?

[Fraysa]

I bought the gloss black door trim. I removed my old brushed aluminum ones using a drill on the rivets and attached the new ones with hot glue, but it didn't hold up...

What's the best way to attach them back to the door card? @Cuzoe maybe you know?

Mine are not installed in the car yet, but I intend to use an epoxy of some type. Not sure exactly which one yet. I need to do some light research, I don't want to be messing around in those door cards again (which I've now told myself at least five times ).

My plan was to use hot glue to secure the light bars though. Maybe I need to rethink that. Or see if there are different specs for hot glue .

Hot glue collapsed after some hot days... hence why I'm looking for another material. If you have a nice expoy to recommend lmk...

When I did the park assist sensors on my front and rear bumpers, my parts guy recommended this stuff. It hardens extremely well but remains flexible. The kit comes with the torturous path mixing tube. Get a couple more of those to avoid having to mix it by hand. It does not work well when mixed by hand. Ask me how how I know.

@Kushdaiin That stuff looks good. I like the "reworks are difficult" part, haha. Gotta be ready with a 2-3 minute set time.

@Cuzoe its no joke. The ‘nice’ part is that it’s sandable. Seems better than JBWeld, though. Just gotta be ready to go once you start using it.
