Re: Anchoring striped trim to B pillar???????

I have no old clips. When I got the car this piece was glued on with a tarry substance which dissolves easily in gas. No idea this was going on till the piece fell off and was lost, after which I cleaned the tar off, got a new piece (but no clips) and here I am.

The clips are supposedly useable from outside the car. Push in loosely; when the trim is pushed in in spreads the clip for a tight fit all around and everyone is happy.

The problem is that we placed the clips in the car then tried to install the trim by pushing it into place. After a number of pushes that would have blown the Wisconsin D-line into the secondary the trim was right where it was when we started, so the project was temporarily abandoned pending a better answer.

Grease? Chicken fat? Anything with Silicones in it? Steroids?
