They should have the self sticking tape on them, You could use Tiger seal

if they are the chromed brass version..silicone.
use sparingly and a apply a small bead around the outside edges to stop water ingress. |

Tiger seal is the stuff they use to stick body kits on. Highly recommended.

I'd use a silicone type adhesive/filler. The brass version finisher has a shallower dome, which means there's a large space between the door and the finisher centre. This is a good place for a large dollop of silicone. Whether sealing the outer edges is best is arguable IMO. It doesn't look so nice as a straight fit (IMO). I also think the idea of keeping out water is arguable, but it's a personal choice. Using silicone rather than something like 'No Nails' means you have a better chance of clearing up the area without damage if you want to remove them later.

the chromed brass do fit flush to the bodywork,they are not as deep as the plastic version,hence the need of the larger amount of silicone to the rear.
