ps- i see the clips behind the molding that slide into place, but how
do they latch onto the molding?

 

Hi Robbie

Follow the rubber door trim down the outer part of the door.(door catch
side), you will need to pull the rubber a little back. Located just up from
the bottom you should find a black cap, pop that out and you should find a
hex head screw, this secures the trim in place. Be careful not to drop the
screw down the inner door panel as it can be a problem with access.

You should notice these caps more exposed on the front doors to give you an
idea of what the cap looks like.

Pat- are you talking about the window molding at the top ledge of the
door? i am talking about the plastic pieces that snap on midway down
the door. there doesn't seem to be any obvious screws/joints/etc on
these trim pieces. they simply have some plastic clips that hold them
on, but i can't figure out how they "un-attach" from the door itself.

 

The mouldings are very tricky. The front one requires a bit of 2 sided tape,
and then the first clip goes on, followed to the rear. I think the rear
door is similar. I had the dealer put it on, after I spent a lot of time
trying to get it right. It was worth $30 to have it on right and looking
good.

 

Hi Robbie

I believe I am talking about the door bump trims half way down the door
these are grey. They have a number of guides to locate the trim but have a
single screw holding them in place, there is a black cap located down the
inside bottom of door for access to this screw.
If you are not sure let me know, I will send you some pictures of the
location.

Pat-
Thanks so much for the hint about the (tiny) screw that holds the trim
on. It took a couple of readings but I finally got the gist of it! It
wasn't obvious at all! Once I found it on the front door, the rear was
easy! I was just VERY careful not to let the screw fall down into the
hole. The trim is back on and looking good (although I can see how
adding a piece of double sided tape could make the front ends of the
trim pieces lay PERFECTLY flat.) I might try some the NEXT time my
children decide to rip off my side molding! Thanks again Pat!
