Re: Anyone have any trouble with the molding around....

I have a 2K patriot blue and all the moldings were REPLACED by the dealer under warranty. I would have been fine with them cleaning the back and body, then re-tape with 3M double sided tape, but they did infact replace all of them. I could tell because I installed my molded running boards and I told the dealer I would like to re-drill the holes for the christmas tree fastener at the bottom of the fender flares to ensure a tight fit. When I got my D back from them, I had to drill new holes.

I think a previous post said they used a two-part adhesive. Sounds like quick setting epoxy. I'm not sure that is a good idea unless you are permanently bonding plastic to plastic. If you ever have to replace the molding (hopefully not but) the epoxy will rip the paint off the sheet metal.
