Angry Door Sill Adhesive

When I first got my TL-S doorsills, I installed them very carefully, making sure the surface was super clean. I then was careful on sill placement because people told me that these things will not come off once I install them.........

Well, I've had them 6 -7 months and my front sills are pealing off horribly.....the adhesive sucks. At least 50% of the driver's side is peeling up and even more than that on the passenger side. I haven't checked the back door sills yet......I'm almost afraid too.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions to remounting these sills..... I'm gonna have to peel them up before someone gets caught to one and bends the crap of them.

That's what it came with. I thought the 3M double sided tape was supposed to last a lot longer than it did. Is it something I will have to replace once or twice a year?

That tape is really great stuff, but you gotta take in to account where you live. That tape gets frozen solid every night while its parked in your driveway. Big weather changes kill double sided tape. Hot, cold, hot, cold again, it takes its toll. Get another strip and ill bet it lasts you till mid next winter.

Yeah, you're right....I guess I was just expecting too much from "tape"!! With all the snow, I'm sure the tape was constantly wet.......
