OK, I used the search and couldn't find anything on this....

I want to remove the factory exterior door trim from my car so that I can run my autocross numbers on the side of the car without cutting the numbers in half. Is the trim only glued on, or is it riveted/screwed on? I won't even start the job if there are holes in the door for it, that would have to wait until the eventual repaint....

Thanks in advance!

Glued, or taped or something. Either way, no holes.

Unless I'm grossly mistaken. Mine was removed and replaced with some el-cheapo generic crap before I bought it...

Tifo ; the little strips ,1 on fend and 1 on qrt are glued double face taped on . The pc on the door likewise but is does have a screw in it. Fortunately the screw is not on the face of the door panel . Go to the back edge of the door by the handle ,lift the rubber seal and look carefully for a screw . There is a little tang on the door molding strip there held by that screw.

 

Thanks guys! Now the only unknown will be how bad the paint is faded compared to the paint that has been underneath the door strips for the past 18 years...............

Thanks again!

i plan to do the same to mine.
