Side molding help

Post by ImAJandILikeToSuckMenOffForMoney »

OK well my thin side moldings came in but how do you remove the old ones? I was kinda lucky and the pass side were off already due to my stupidity. But now I need to remove my old ones on the drivers side and the 2 little front ones. TIA for anyones help.

they are usually adhesived on and sometimes they also have clips as well. If your not reusing the old ones just take a putty knife or razor blade and cut the adhesive while pulling back on them, if they have the clips in them easiest way is to remove the door panel and push the clips out from the inside. If you need any more help just pm me.

They are not adhesived on to your car. You are going to have to remove the door panels to get them off with messing up the metal from pulling on them. You will have to remove the rear interior panels also to get to the ones in the rear. You may be able to remove the front with out taking off the fenders by going in through the iner fender well.

I hope that helps.

Just dont "pry" on them. It will break the mouldings, not the clips that attach them. Best bet is to take the panels of to keep all of the clips intact.

Ok well I got all off but the drivers door and the pass fender. Im just gonna wait to do those later. The fender shouldnt be too hard bu the door I might just have to take off the panels. I dont care about the stock moldings bc im missing a whole side. Thanks for everyones help.
