Got another question, as I finally get back to Big Blue ...

I have the Red Strip for the XLT, how have people attached those, when they have come off?

Hi Tim, I am always amazed at how pristine those non rust belt trucks are - very nice.

If you are talking about the reflector on the tail gate then I am wondering the same thing.



I am thinking of some kind of adhesive as many of the plastic fasteners have broken.
Would love to hear what others have done.

Exactly the piece I'm talking about.

So the reflector I have is from a different truck, and my Chrome is MUCH nicer, so I'm attaching it there. I tried using epoxy from the back but it didn't take ... wondering what other people are doing. It might just be that I didn't do it right or use the right epoxy.

I would look into 3M 2 sided molding tape.
Only thing is if you can see through the part you may see the tape as it is black.
If that is the case just add it so it will look good when installed.
