The dechromed trim that runs across the roof and down the drivers piller has come loose. I've got some sellotape holding it down at the moment. Any ideas as to how to fix it, is there a special sealent / adhesive to use or do I need new trim?

you can PROBABLY remove it and pinch the stuff so it grabs tighter, but ive got a complete dechrome kit that im selling if you wanted a new set. Try the pinch method 1st though for cheapness of solution
