Hey guys, i have rust coming out of the side door stoppers? bumpers? i'll probably have to remove them, repaint them, and fix the rust issue under it.

The thing is, i dont know how it is fixed on there? glue? snaps? screws? anybody knows? would be really appreciated.

And is it possibble to remove them completely? and putty the indent it creates?

Im scared we will still be able to see the indent with sun reflection and all.

 

do you have a pic?

 

Do you mean the trim piece on the outside of the door skin? If so it's held in by metal clips, if you mean a plastic/rubber piece on the very edge of the door, that's probably just glued.

 

Im talking about the outside of the door, the trim piece. Im going to post pics tomorow. Its pretty nasty rust spot. Damn previous owner, left me a dirty car to play with. :-(

So how should i remove it? maybe taking the interior door panel off, and inclip the clips?

 

That's how I'd go after it, just make sure the window arm is out of the way you shoule be able to get to it I assume

 

yea you have to pull the door panel off and then pop off the clips from the inside i have the 98-99 service manual and just looked it up

 

ok thx. THe car has been previously repainted. They did a really shitty job! U can see the drip marks of the paint on that trim.. what the hell. lol. Ill show u guys a picture. ITs a really nasty spot on my car.

 

i think there are screws on the trim piece. at the ends of them.

 

screws, on the inside you mean? ill have a look. Had a day off today... but its raining!!! Arghh. lol

BTW. Im getting Tinted thursday!!!!!! =D ill ask the guy to tint my taillights. I was going to do 35% all arround and 35 for taillights. Or 35 for tailights is too dark?

 

35 for tail lights is relatively light IMO

 

there is one screw on the end of the trim where you open the door it's really easy to find.

open your door and look down to the trim height and you'll see it

 

how are the moldings on the rear held on? screws? or clips? do you have to take off the interior door skin to remove it?

 

clips too i think i'll check tomorrow when i sober up and find the book

 

 

yea its also held in by clips and you have to remove the side trim panel (rear trim panel).
i can take pics of the step by step and upload them later if you need em from the book

 

sweet guys! Thx alot. Very helpfull. =D
