Have a small technical problem with my car. The trim on my door sill has become unstuck. I have tried using some epoxy glue to fix it but with no success. Any ideas?

easiest would be to take it right off, straighten and then refit.

it'll keep springing back off if you just push it back on the way it is now.

that sound like a good idea. thing is if i straighten it I sill need some method of securing it to the Door as trhe original clip has broken. Could I then try to reglue?

Have you priced up the part. You may get a nice surprise.

Its a ford focus so the parts will be cheaper than expected.

a breakers might be abel to get you a replacement for 'not much' - epoxy might work but it might not last and if you catch the trim again might not hold.

As TLH says, ask about a new one, I had to get a few bit's for a focus after a minor knock and was very impressed by the cost, I'd be surprised if it's more than £10-15 for that bit of trim

any ideas where in the UK I could order the trim from? I'm in Sweden and wouldn't have a clue where to start.

try a local ford dealer first - they should give you a local price to compare with at least.
