Falls out every time someone opens the back doors now. GM piece of crap. Anybody got some glue?

LOL!! :D

Same thing happens to me here... all you need is a pair of pliers and crimp the molding a bit and place it back on the seam. Don't glue it on! Another good thing to do is use some silicone lubricant and spray all your rubber moldings once every 6 months, this will keep them pliable and looking new for many years to come.

Cheers!

BTW, don't get a flame near the silicone, it does catch on fire rather easily.

Same problem, rear drivers side door. I was too lazy to fix it properly and all of a sudden the weather stripping has dissapeared. I think it fell off when my truck was at the local car stereo shop. Go figure, nobody there remembers a long rubber piece of weather stripping falling off and hitting the floor. Yea right! Thats what I get for not fixing it as soon as I noticed the problem.:mad: :confused: :mad:

Adam, i think your issues are caused from washing your truck too much.:rolleyes:

I had my door trim fall off, (every door) several times during warranty, lost one strip...they finally glued them all in place....been fine since.
