I hadn't thought of that. Though it would likely be as much work as just creating a new part with a built in flange. I'll definitely consider it though!

I think anything you do to try and bond that on as a removable piece will fail over time. This is because it is not held on by much and subject to a lot of wind force.

I would suggest cutting it off and then make a flange to bolt it to the rocker. After the flange is complete, pull a quick mold of the part and flange this way it is all one piece.

Thanks Glenn. You're probably right. I was hoping there was a quicker/easier solution but I guess I'll buckle down and do it properly.

I would like to separate a trim piece that is part of a full panel, and then create the necessary mounting tabs so that it can be reattached after it is painted (it will be black while the rest of the panel will be white). However, I'm worried that the trim piece may experience high wind loads while driving that may result in the new fiberglass on the part delaminating and the trim piece being ripped off.

Does anyone know of the best way to do this?

I've attached a couple pics to show which trim piece I'm referring to.
