I thought that window frames were painted black... (from Hyundai, not from Mick)
Well, they are nothing but self-adhesive(?) plastic strips.
So, the question is simple and obvious:
"How can i glue this?..."

**Obvious solutions such as instant dry super-glues, will be not accepted :P

Well cyano would probably do it. But if it was me I'd get the dealer to do it under warranty, it shouldn't peel.
I had a similar problem with a Vauxhall some years ago, and they actually replaced the whole wrap rather than just gluing a bit down.

The Elantra used to have a lot of trouble with the vinyl on the b pillar and upper door surround bubbling and creasing .. my m8 got his replaced twice under warranty in a 4 year period on a 2002 model.. :cool:

DONT glue it... glue has no place on visible parts of a car... and the only glue you use on a car should be "sikaflex 227" because thats what the factory will be using to hold it together, ever wondered why busses dont have rivets on them? sikaflex 227 LOL
anyways back on topic, dont glue it man, get a new sticker!!!
-
Replace the whole thing??? :'(
Thanks m8s. That's what i'm going to (get them to) do next service
-
well what i think will happen is water/air will get under it, then eventually it will start peeling off on the other side!
just make sure the guys know how to put stickers on properly... or it will be worse! bubbles/dirt/peel off again!

You must have typed one of the two censored words that get fully converted to 4 asterisks :P
If you want to know, the two words are **** and **** :lol:

**** and *****

Booked an appointment for upcoming Tuesday to replace the sticker under warranty 8)

Update:
My dealer's tech, suggested that they'd better glue this thing instead of replacing it, because "this (replacement) would be worse".
Immediately, two things came into my mind:
just make sure the guys know how to put stickers on properly... or it will be worse! bubbles/dirt/peel off again!
.. my m8 got his replaced twice under warranty in a 4 year period ..
...and i decided just to agree with the tech. So, they did glue it with a thermal pistol and some special(?) glue. See what happens :rolleyes:

i wonder if its painted nicely under the stickers...
it would be good to just rip them off, and polish it all up then if your not happy with it!
