Window trim/ tape fix
This is the "tape" that goes around my window - its starting to peel up in a few spots.. Just wondering if anyone has used an adhesive or glue to stick it back down and hold it there.. Something that wouldn't damage the tape of course.. I'm OCD with this **** and its annoying knowing its not stuck down in a few spots haha

I'm on the same boat with my IS. I have searched and did not find a DIY fix for this yet. I'm devising a way to do this without making a mess (don't want to see a drop of glue sticking out). My best idea now is using an Xacto knife to drive very small amounts of rubber glue between the vinyl and chrome trim. Got an old can of 3M spray glue that i used to use to wrap vinyl and speaker rug on sub boxes. I guess this will be the best glue to use?

Yeah I was thinking to alcohol swab what i could to clean surface.. and getting some sort of glue or adhesive and applying with a q-tip or even a toothpick to minimize excess.. Just not sure of what adhesive to use because it would need to be water proof as well.
The spray glue might not be the easiest to direct tho no? unless you spray it in a dish or something first..

There was a dyi for plastidipping the trim piece, Ive always wanted to cut it off but not too sure if its preventing water from getting into the doors.

The rubber trim is actually a cosmetic cover. Differing designs, this is one solution. Notice that the base is stainless steel, due to the corrosion resistance. However some styling people do not want to see all chrome or all black, hence ours is 50-50. The RX350 new ones, dumped the black all together. My RX330 has peeling paint on this door trims. $80 and you have a new trim.

Yes you certainly can. You have to do it carefully.
