Or 3M General Trim Adhesive.

Either one you use, you need to thoroughly clean the backside of the molding, and the car body, of all dirt.

And adhesive. Any more tips? What solvent shall be used? Direct sunlight is a no no. Peel only one side at a time and remember not to touch the sticky side as the oils from your hands will...

I redid my trim with the 3M tape as well. Double-sided foam tape, and extremely sticky. Cleaned the Jeep with GooGone and proper paint prep (Simple Green?), molding I actually painted so it was cleaned off with the same I think. Applied the tape to the back of the trim then just stuck it on my doors.
