I got brave and pulled it off today. It appears that only about 10% of the double side tape was holding. All other moldings seem to be solid. I'm thinking this one may have suffered some trauma from the tire rubbing the fender after a RHCV or air bag failure. (note the heat damage to the paint above the tire) I've learned that my Newell will bottom out on the fenders before hitting the bump stops. This has puzzled me. The only thing I can come up with is that it originally was set up for 22.5" wheels but was fitted with 24.5". I am going to look into the bump stop situation soon.
For now I will replace broken rivets, find some new trim mounting tape and reinstall with new stainless steel screws.
