Need suggestions on how to deal with T-molding Problem

(1/2) > >>

Hoagie_one:
The cab I'm refurbing has a slot cut into it thats larger than standard T-molding fits into. The t-molding I bought does not fit snug at all and slides out with the slightest pressure, especially around bends.

Do they make a thicker slot t-molding or should I just use glue or discretely hidden nails \ staples?

ivwshane:
I've read that a lot of people here have used hot glue in the slots to make it stay.

Ginsu Victim:
The other day I ran into a similar problem with a cab for my friend. What we did was took a piece of clear packing tape, cut it to about 2 inches long, looped it over itself so the sticky part was outside, laid it across the slot, then pushed the t-molding in. We did this every two feet and next to curves/corners. Worked great. The tape isn't visible, and the t-molding is holding well in place.

Hot glue FTW!
