IIRC, I used rubbing alcohol to clean off all the old tape/adhesive, then used 3M double-sided tape--the high strength version--from the local home center (Home Depot, in my case).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The passenger side metal door sill with insignia has come unglued on my '99 C4. Looks like it was connected with some sort of double-sided strips...any suggestions how to fix? Do I need to go to dealer or is there an alternative? Thanks! Chris

POST 2Original post

Clean it out when after you remove it the rest of the way--being careful not to bent it. Many automotive supply shops sell double sided adhesives. Use something like GOO-OFF.

POST 3Original post

I used 3 strips of 3M double sided tape. Same size as what appears was on my car when it came off. I did this over 4 years ago and haven't had that problem since. the 3M came in a small roll, but i bought several rolls to attach 3 strips.

POST 4Original post

Yep, 3M tape will do it. They also sell a thin version.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found a product on Autozone website, it's a 3M mounting tape. Is double-sided but they refer to it as a foam tape...would that work? Not too thick or is that the right stuff?

POST 7Original post

Automotive grade double side tape can be found at lowes. It has a red backing. Or pick up some liquid nails and put 4 dabs across the sill and glue it back on. A dealer? Really????

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 9918204

Can you post a pic? Mine was foam based but had some type of green packaging if I remember correctly.

POST 9Original post

IIRC, I used rubbing alcohol to clean off all the old tape/adhesive, then used 3M double-sided tape--the high strength version--from the local home center (Home Depot, in my case). Worked a treat. One roll per side did it for me (probably was overkill, but those suckers aren't coming unstuck again lol). Good luck
