2003 H2 fake inside wood trim peeling off doors and dash?
My 2003 H2 has the fake inside wood trim stickers peeling off doors and dash? Any ideas for sticking it back on? I was thinking about getting a heat gun and very carefully/gently heating it up without burning it and trying to stick it back on, getting the adhesive warmed up. My H2 just got delivered to me from California and the weather here in Michigan has been in the 20's and 30's...I am just wondering if that sudden change in temperature could cause some contraction of the adhesive on the trim. Any ideas/thoughts on how to stick it back on would be greatly appreciated.

to me it looks like the trim has been warped.
usually those pieces from from the manufacture pretty straight.
I wouldnt try a heat gun, probably burn or ruin the finish
usually those thing are on with thin double sided tape
if you can find another company.... you should be able to pick up a set for 150-250 on the average
if that much

What I am saying is those kits come with the pieces stuck and saran wrapped to a piece of flat straight cardboard, so when you get them they are straight.... they have to be cause again its on a piece of flat cardboard. So with all the warping that yours has, I dont think there is much salvaging that piece. It is a hardened plastic piece and essentially ruined already, so you could trying working it flat with some heat, BUT 1) I am not saying to do that. you do that at your own precaution, and 2) whats the worse that can happen? you ruin an already ruined piece?
If you do try heat, I would boil it and not use a heat gun.... Too much direct heat definitely would end badly.
Boiling will heat it up and it will be even and the whole piece could be manipulated
But remember it will be hot plastic
Hope this helps

Treviso, I think you missed it in the first post I made
