Skirting came off door. What to use to put it back ?

[MentalIlness]

Ok, the part of the door that is outlined in yellow came off the door for whatever reason. It came off the driver side door, I'm just showing it on the passenger side since I dont have a picture of the driver side.

But anyway, it came half way off, so I finished taking it off.

It has the "gooey black tape sticky strips" what ever the stuff is that holds these things on there.

Of course, I cannot reuse what was there, so had to clean it all off. Now what exactly is that stuff ? And would something like the GM garage be the only place to get it ?

Double-sided tape (3M brand, the red one...) Can be bought at Home Depot.

Make sure surfaces are clean before applying.

I have actually used that double sided tape before. That identical product.

I used it to put plexi in a computer case side panel. Worked like a charm.

However, this piece for the car door maybe weighs 2-3 lbs. Would it hold it ? And would it be good enough to be weather proof ?

No, go to an auto parts store and get the permanent weatherproof double sided adhesive

I used that tape to adhere my driver and passenger side window visors and it lasted 5 years. That stuff sticks.

Thanks.

Didn't know this stuff was sold in auto parts stores.

The 3M stuff I linked is outdoor stuff. The only stuff that's much better is 3M's VHB line, and you'd have trouble finding that, I think. Very High Bonding.

I would buy a new door.

There is nothing wrong with the door. Mint condition. This is only a piece that goes on the door.

As a matter of fact, it look pretty good without it. Maybe ill take the other one off.

I used some sheet metal screws, seems to be holding good.

That's the one I was talking about. Make sure you put enough if your piece is heavy, and it'll never come off.
