So the clips broke off on my passenger door molding and really need to put it on to finish up my car. I don't have the clips anymore. I tried gluing the molding on to the door just straight up, but the epoxy dried too fast and it just made a big mess. I was wondering if anyone has tried to use replacement clips to put these moldings on, and if so, do you remember what clips you used. I read somewhere on this forum that some guy melted his stock clip back onto the molding, which is probably what I'm going to do, but I was just wondering if there were any other clips that would work. Any information would be great. Thanks

Glueing is the best. Get your car painted the color you want and glue it on. Several of my parts car had the trims glued on with no clips at all. YOu couldn't tell the difference until you tried to take them off... pita!!!
