The rubber trim in the wheel well of my sister’s car separated from the steel frame. What’s the best way to reattach it?
Obviously I’ll clean the steel and rubber with soap and water, and probably use some kind of adhesive. I know it needs to be weather proof and vibration proof. I was thinking construction adhesive, but I think that would fail the vibration test. Then I thought epoxy, but standard epoxy would probably have the same issue. What about steel reinforced epoxy?
Any other suggestions? Should I use an abbrasive like steel wool?
Look on the wheel well on the other side of the car and we how that piece of trim is attached to that wheel well.
Chances there’s a groove it has to get seated back into. Try to reseat the trim.
If the trim got damaged somehow and wont reseat, take it to a parts store and they will sell you a replacement.
This answer here. Look at the other side. Do the same thing. You can also search her model Subaru and the year number to see what that part is called then look at YouTube on how to replace it. Even if you can’t find a video for that exact car it should give you an idea of where to start.
