Default Ideas on mounting OEM side strakes

Has anybody installed OEM side strakes without drilling into the side of the body? I was thinking about using 3M double sided tape or polyurethane glue...

Thoughts?

I don't know that I would trust glue. Also, If 1 falls off you have to buy a whole new kit. I am dealing with a similar problem now. I bought a set used from a member and was missing 2 specific install parts (small bolts that are very unique). Anyways I had to do a whole lot a research and find the parts I need because you can't even buy the hardware separate.

Good Luck.

I've never seen them in person uninstalled, but if you can't drill somewhere other than directly into the quarter panel, I suggest a dab of silicone. If it can hold granite countertops in place, it sure as hell will hold a little piece of plastic.

I'm pretty sure some strong double sided tape will hold those no problem...
