I yanked mine off in December. From what I remember there was a strip of double-sided tape securing the moulding in a couple of locations.

I can't say that the tape was from the factory. My RR had bodywork done at some point in its life. It may have been installed then.

No tape on any one I've ever taken off. No tape on any one I've ever put back on.

The few I've pulled had tape under them, but they were all 66-67 B cars if that makes a difference

Never seen them with any tape. They should go on with no adhesives.. unless there is an issue with the area you're putting them on.

I don't know about all years, but I can say for sure that there is no tape ob 66-67 b-body cars. They just snap on over ther rail.

I do not remember if it was my drip rail trim or the trim under that, that goes above the door and quarter window on my Challenger but it did have somekind of foam type of tape under it.

Same here, in the past 7-8 years I've had 5 66-67 cars, three had tape, one I know for sure had never been repainted, other two, not sure about. Two did not have any tape at all.
