Corner Trim piece on My Slide is loose -Can I use Silicone Caulk?

The Corner Trim piece on one of my slides is loose. Can I just Caulk the edges with silicon Caulk? If not what product should I use? Tried to attach a Picture. Hopefully I can do a neater job then the factory.

Thanks,
Larry

There are many products that are great for adhesives

Silicone isn't one of them

Spend 8 bucks or more per tube and get something rated to adhere to plastic and fiberglass

I had the same issue, noticed that is was held in place by double sided tape. Got a 3M product (double sided tape) from local parts house that is used in auto repair. Has worked so far. I was afraid to glue permanently in case piece needed to come off for other repairs.

We just had a recent thread with lotsa great advice on attaching these corner pieces. Did you try search?
