if they dont just un clip but are some kind of solid clip that has to be cut off, you can glue the molding back on with trim adhesive or tape.

something like that will be a lot easy to work on off the car. you have a lot of sanding to do after filling and painting, and clearing them.

this whole deal could take 3 days to finish with dry times. and the time you have to put into it, after work, weekends.

**** that **** lol. Thank for the help thou!

it takes nothing to take the inside door skin off and look to how its held on. small amounts of filler are easy to do, even if you have no clue. and the paint, just spray light coats, make sure its good and clean. tac cloths in between coats, light sanding when done, and then clear it. all can be done with spray cans and still look pretty good.

im no pro at painting, but all 4 door molding at the top of the door bottom of the window were plastic coated and pealing up cracked, and cutting people, i found a write how to get them off, removed, cut and sanded the plastic off, and painted them, and cleared, wet sanded, then buffed with rubbing compound, they came out more of a matte finish, but they look better then before. took 2 days to finish all 4 door parts.

The site I posted has some instructional videos there too, look around. All in all you can do it, light touch is always better than heavy. But check YouTube as well for instructionals.

dude, you got a few skills, go for it, those bow ties look good.


the doors skins have tree clips around the out side edge, the door handle area will have 2 screws holding it on, when its all loose, push the whole panel up, and off, then take the plugs off for the window switches and lights, or speaker and its off, 15 minutes tops for the first time out.

this is the preferred tool to pop the tree clips, but a screw driver used carefully will also work.

same thing, take them off and work on them, the mirror should have 3 bolts holding it on, behind a plastic piece, it will need to come off when you take the door skin off most likely.

the tool can be picked up at any parts store. 5 to 10 bucks. if the clips break, dont worry, they are fairly cheap to replace, the tool is more so you dont scratch your paint or break the door skin.

the lower molding should be clipped on some how, i see them missing all the time. my regal lower panel was off when i bought my car, i put it back with tree clips. i need to find the right clips still, it uses a metal strip then through the plastic molding. yours looks easier to deal with then mine does.
