Question not too technical - threshold strips

the driver side threshold strip came loose - I now notice the the strip length doesn't match the indents in the sheet metal - like it shrunk about 1" or more. Do these shrink? Also if I get new ones from Pelican how do I attach? RTV, double sided tape? Any opinions re. the after market threshold strips that have the logo in them? Too glitzy?

My 87 targa has done the same thing. I hope someone replies

The originals were glued in and they do shrink. The replacements typically come with double-sided tape on the bottom, ready to install. The hard part is removing the original glue, which takes lot's of elbow grease.

MY opinion on the aftermarket strips with a logo is...I wouldn't put them on one of my cars. Simpler is better. I don't need to be reminded when I get in a car, what car it is.

I took my strips off and left them off. I cleaned up the underlying paint and I think it looks better that way.
