Do you think that crazy glue would work by any chance?

The thing that scared me away from using super glue (Loctite instant set is what i was thinking of using) is that it might eat at the trim somehow as it is somewhat aggressive. Also, there would be very little - almost zero margin for error when it comes to removing any excess glue that would come out as it dries within seconds. I guess it might depend on the glue that you are using.. But I'm sure it would work to hold it down..

Regardless of what you use.. its very tedious work.. it took me 30min to do one window

Seems too risky for my liking.. Damn it. Maybe I'll just have it all removed and plasti dipped.
