Side Molding

79-84 seem to be ok. They are definitely made out of different material.

87+, I couldn't say. FWIW, you can probably still hunt those down, new.

87 up ones shrink badly when the metal is removed.

Does that hold true for just the 85-86 or are others in the 79-93 range likely to shrink also? I also have a '91 notch that could use a little work on the door moulding but I've been putting it off.

why is the side of your car "molding" ? wash the mold off, oh you meant moulding ah i get it now JK LOL

added some tags for searching

Sorry I missed your post. No, I really meant "Molding".

Thanks, negusm and sonic. Looks like I'll just let the '91 slide then and let the next owner worry about it. It's not really that bad.

My buddy had to remove the passenger door molding to fix a crease on the door of his 90 coupe. He purchased a used molding that appeared to be in really nice shape until he went to put it on. No kidding, it shrunk about 1.5".

Him being impatient put it on anyway.

What type of 3M tape did you use to mount the molding back on the panels ?

3m has a Europian site

I used the retail packaged 3614 gray foam one.
3M Scotch-Mount Super Strength Molding Tape OEM approved

Installed along the outside edges of molding to minimize any debris-catching gaps.

That's the same one I used. I picked it up at NAPA. You can probably find it at any auto parts store or your local WalMart.
