Hi, I have just purchased a stainless steel replacement for the trim part which covers the RH door pillar seam weld. I took the old one off, because the bottom half came undone. I did however make sure the seam weld is sealed up and added new paint in this area. Some of the seam, especially the lower half, is tapered in cross section, not flat as it should be.

Replacing the stainless one can be with new trim clips, but I have found these difficult to use (as the seams are a bit tapered in cross section) for a bulge not to appear in the trim. The other method could be that I attatch the trim in 3 places with silicon and leave it at that.
I am aware however than silicon can trap moisture, but since I am having trouble using the clips i thought of the silicon idea.

Any ideas?

Thanks
