Body/Trim: - Re-attaching bumper trim

magicbusdriver · May 25th, 2011, 14:17

Hello,

The clips on my GLT bumper trims have rusted away. Any thoughts on the best glue/sealant/caulk to use to re-attach the bumper trims ? I have tried no more nails, but not the best results.

Black silicone gel or somesuch ?

Thanks,

Simon

Front or rear? Middle or side? Can you get old clips and fittings out as i have some in my spares stock

You can still get clips from Volvo (MRG in Chippenham). If you use sealant/glue only stick to the body as the front bumper moves in and out like train buffers and needs to slide under the trim.
