What have you guys done to fix it?

I was on the trail this weekend and lost my drivers side molding. I didn't realize I lost it till I got on the highway and could hear the plastic tape crap they used flapping in the wind. So I can not put it back on.

I was thinking just using door edging and using that along the mount.

If local laws aren't too strict or whatever else might stop you.. Going fenderless looks ok. A little trimming of the plastic splash guard so it doesn't rattle and reattaching it to the fender with the existing holes from the old flare (or simply removing it entirely) is all it takes.

I am talking about the rain gutters on the roof...
