Let’s see some photos once you’ve finished installing them. :D
Getting closer..I've dug out my old hot glue gun to tack the various parts together..just nervous about the first drilling out the plastic welds on the old trims.. :tumbleweed:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Take your time and you should be fine. I used something like the Tiger PU adhesive. Super strong stuff that, used it on my front bumper too since it was sticking out at the edges a bit.

Did my first trial with the glue gun..just a dab of glue on the edge of new Audiotec Tweeters in their triangles for the front doors..worked well..

I'll persevere with that for these small scale jobs..if that doesn't work I'll try your recommendation.. :thumbsup:
