Had Claire for ~3 weeks now, still working on details. Like those door handle trim pieces. Mine were falling off and the gasket part had deteriorated on one. So ordered new, no big deal. Getting them to stick properly however proved tricky. None of the glue I had on hand worked and trying to apply constant pressure waiting for glue to setup was tedious and fruitless. I came across this Sugru Moldable Glue on Amazon and decided to try. Worked absolutely perfect. It comes in little packs and feels like silly putty. You can mold it however you wish and can manipulate easily until it cures (24 hours). As soon as I applied it and pressed the trim piece on it stuck perfectly and has remained there ever since with no additional effort on my part. Highly recommend for any tricky piece or electronics that needs a glue assist.

Enjoy!
Bernie
