Patent ID: 8002937

Claim:
A method for attaching and aligning a trim part to a secondary structure, comprising: applying an epoxide to at least one of a trim part and a secondary structure; placing a resiliently flexible jig into an opening of a primary surface; seating the trim part into the jig in proximal relation to the secondary structure such that the epoxide contacts both the trim part and the secondary structure and such that the trim part is planar aligned to the primary surface; applying, via the jig, an epoxide fixing accelerant to the epoxide; and removing the jig after the epoxide has stiffened such that the trim part is rigidly affixed in relation to the secondary structure, wherein the trim part remains planar aligned to the primary surface; wherein said step of removing comprises the jig being resiliently flexed so as to pass between the trim part and the primary surface at the opening; and wherein said step of removing further comprises splitting the jig at a selected location thereof.
