    Hello all, I have an 03 GP GT sedan and the lower moulding peice on the passenger front door has come off. I am curious on how it is attached to the door. I see the adhesive that goes around the whole plastic peice but on the door there is what appears to be a metal strip with 5 white plastic clips atrached to it. The white clips don't appear to clip into the trim peice, how would I go about reattached it? Just use double sided adhesive?

    Thanks in advance

    I have an '01 Grand Prix GTP SE so I'm not sure it's the same but on mine, there's a metal strip that runs the length of the door with a slight, upward lip of maybe 3/16" that the bottom of the trim sits in. Mine is mostly intact and the tape is holding at the top, but the lip is starting to rust so I have to tuck mine in every month or so. I'll end up addressing it at some point but for now I just tuck it in and hope it lasts until I'm brave enough to pull the whole piece of trim off and figure out how to fashion a replacement metal strip. The first link below shows a wildly out of scale image of the metal piece which came with the body moulding.
    You, like me, will likely need to break out the tin-smithing tools to fashion a new one.
    Best of luck.

    Trying to stay pretty close to stock now. Just a few bolt-ons for fun.

    The metal peice is still firmly attached to the door, no rust, just need to know how to reattach the plastic trim

    Cool. Just tuck the bottom edge of the moulding into the lip and use double-sided body tape to attach the top edge.
    All done!
