Winnebago plastic body panel adhesive

I have a 2007 Winnebago View and some of the brackets that hold the plastic body trim have come loose from the panels. Does anyone know the recommended adhesive to reattach them?

  • Call 3M and ask. I attached our solar panel mount using VHB and it has withstood 120+mph wind speeds. Cleaning is VERY important!
  • Thanks all. I started looking for VHB tape and find a bunch of different part numbers. Which kind should I get?
  • 3M makes an adhesive specifically for adhering trim to auto paint. Maybe that is what you need?

  • Another vote for VHB tape. Clean the surfaces and use the tape. Be sure to get in the right place first try. You won't get it back off (-:

  • You could search out 3M VHB tape. It is used to apply skin to aircraft. It will not come off again.
  • The Sealant Callout doesn't seem to have the panel to mounting bracket info, just external parts to skin, if that makes sense.
