Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-45 minutes
Instructions:
- Park on a level surface, lower the window slightly (if applicable), and disconnect the negative battery terminal if working near power components.
- Use masking tape to mark the original molding position and protect paint along the beltline.
- Carefully pry off the old beltline molding using a trim removal tool; remove any retaining clips or adhesive residue with pliers and a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
- Inspect and replace any damaged retainers or clips so the new molding will seat securely.
- If the new molding uses adhesive tape, clean the mounting surface thoroughly, test-fit the molding, then remove backing and press firmly into place. If it uses clips, align the molding with the retainer holes and press until each clip snaps into place.
- Work along the length of the molding, applying even pressure. Use a heat gun on low to increase flexibility in cold conditions if needed.
- Re-check alignment, trim any excess material if necessary, and wipe the area clean. Allow any adhesive to set per manufacturer's recommendations before driving.
