1"(25mm) Automotive Trim Molding 10Foot Universal Car Side Body Molding(Self Adhesive) UV Protected Scratch-Proof Decorative for All Vehicles Exterior Interior Door Window Bumper -Glossy Black

Has a purplish hue to it. Wasn't as thick as I thought. Returned with ease.

I have a Honda Odyssey '05. There are metal "rails" that I think are just aesthetic, covering a seam on the roof on both sides from the windshield back to the beginning of the roof rack. The "rails" were originally covered with a black rubber of some sort; these rubber strips peeled away from the metal due to car age/wear I guess. I would tape them down to the car roof, not knowing what else to do with them, and once I got going to a certain speed, or after enough rainfalls, the rubber strips would start flapping around in the air above my car like one of those inflatables outside a car dealership. I bought this product because I thought maybe I could just stick it to the existing metal rails that are still on the car, and it worked well for that purpose. I cleaned under the metal rails as much as I could (tree debris) blowing it out from under the metal using an air pump, and made sure the metal surface was clean for good adhesion. I did tuck a 1/8" edge under something at either end of where I was adhering it to hopefully enhance its staying power. It looks great, and I had probably a good 8" left over when I finished both sides. Now to see how long it lasts, with heat, rain, cold, etc. I will update this review if this does not last a year.

I have been having adhesion problems with this trim.

Nice. Shiny. Cuts easily. I bet for 98% of applications it will be fine. I had it on a curved surface (front bumper wrapping around the side of the bumper ) and while it stuck originally, it started to lift away in a few spots. Easily fixed. I purchased some 1 inch 3M auto adhesive tape (7/8ths would have been even better) and added an extra strip on the back and that thickness worked better in my application.

Due to dry rot, the roof rack and trim molding on my 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L, disintegrated. I sealed the roof seam below with RTV sealant, and covered the gap with this trim molding, without replacing the roof rack. Because there was no surface for the included adhesive to adhere to, I used a tube of Flex Glue.

I used this to fill the channel on the roof of my Ford truck. It worked fine but I wish the adhesive covered the whole back. It has 2 thin strips of tape, one on each side.

My husband said the product was great and looked awesome on his new to him truck

Installed on rv and it lasted one week and product started to crack. Installed 75 feet and now all 75 feet shows cracks. Terrible quality.
