Anyone ever replace side moldings?
Has anyone ever done this? One of my side moldings is peeling and I need to replace it.
I was at Acura this past week and they wanted to charge $110 to replace it. They say the piece was about $30 and I guess the rest would be labor?!?!
Is it that difficult??

You're talking about the molding on the door itself right? I need to have mine replaced because of an accident (only on the rear door though), and I'm being charged about $27.12 for the molding itself, and 0.3 hours of labor for the job (@$36.00 per hour), but I have a bunch of other work being done. It shouldn't be more than 1 hour worth of work, and they usually round up to 1 hour if its less than that. So if they're charging more than $36/hour for the work try to bring it someplace else.

Yes, it is the molding on the side of the door.
I had the door repainted b/c of abad scratch so it could be from that. I thought you could just pop it off also, but omeone said hat you need to remove the door panel??
