I've been messing around for years trying to find a suitable bumper trim ever since the original faded into oblivion. After trying different versions I think (hope) I've found one that won't come loose. Found it an auto paint supplier locally. It's not thick and not tall since the bumper opening was originally cut based on the OEM template that came with the lamps. But this time the new molding has bead of adhesive that is encapsulated into it. It's was a real pain to install since it's so slender and stiff. I had really work at it to get it open so it would install onto the opening. The hardest parts were the corner radius' had to really pry it open with my fingers several times which was very tough.

A heat gun (isn't it hot enough already in AZ?) might have softened it up some to help bend around the corners. I love how clean everything is behind the lights.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

It's both criminal and comical how age and heat conspire to make things harder than they need be...
Wait doesn't everybody pull their lights out to clean behind them every 3 months?
