I can get the (retro-fit) window in, secured, and sealed. The problem I have is that Lowes sold me a 1 3/4 finishing strip that goes over the sealant (on the inside). I can't figure out the best thing to use to fix (glue) the stripping to the window frame.
So what's the best to use? Caulk, glue, something else??

They're vinyl double pane vindows, and the strip is a 1 3/4" strip of flat vinyl. It's meant to cover the gap left by the retrofitted window (and the foam sealant that is used) on the interior of the window.

If this is molding your talking about it sounds like they sold you the wrong stuff! The molding or trim work is never 13/4 wide, it is usually 3'' or 4'' wide. It is normaly nailed in with finish nails. I wish I was there to see it!

If you have sealed the inside, why would you need any additional "trim"? Is the window aluminum, vinyl? If you feel you have to apply this piece with out the use of fastners, Liquid Nails makes a clear that probably will work for you. Don`t wedge the piece in place. This will make the piece buckle and pull away from position. Cut it fractionally short and finish caulk the ends when it has set.

Nothing, the seal pushes in and stays of its own accord
